Horseradish is called "கரத்தை" (karattai) in Tamil.
Moringa pterygosperma, also known as the horseradish tree, is a small to medium tree that produces ferny foliage, pale yellow, fragrant flowers and long seed pods. Most of the tree, including the roots, which taste like horseradish, are edible. The leaves are used as greens while the bark and roots have medicinal qualities. In some areas of the world the foliage is used as cattle fodder. By far, though, the most interesting, and useful part of Moringa pterygosperma is its seed.
It's not horseradish! It can be called horseradish tree or drumstick tree, but not horseradish- that is a different plant.

English common names include moringa, benzolive tree,[1] and West Indian ben. It is also known asdrumstick tree, from the appearance of the long, slender, triangular seed pods, horseradish tree, from the taste of the roots which resembles horseradish, or ben oil tree, from the oil derived from the seeds. The tree itself is rather slender, with drooping branches that grow to approximately 10m in height. In cultivation, it is often cut back annually to 1-2 meters and allowed to regrow so the pods and leaves remain within arm's reach.[1]In developing countries, moringa has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and support sustainable landcare.[2] It may be used as forage forlivestock, a micronutrient liquid, a natural anthelmintic and possible adjuvant.[3][4]
