PACHI MIRAPAKAYA PACHADI

as everyone know that andhra is very famous for huge varieties of pickles and roti pachadlu (chutney's prepared in grinding stone), here is a pachadi that is very frequently prepared at my home using grinding stone.... 

TIME TAKEN: 15 - 20 MINS

INGREDIENTS:

GREEN CHILLI’S	9 – 10 (DEPENDING UPON THE SPICINESS YOU CAN REDUCE OR ADD MORE CHILLI’S)
TOMATOES	4 MEDIUM (RIPED)
PEANUTS	1/4TH CUP
SALT	TO TASTE
TAMARIND PASTE	1 tbsp
CORIANDER SEEDS	½ tsp
CUMIN SEEDS (JEERA)	½ tsp
OIL	1 tbsp
ONION	1
GARLIC CLOVES	10

NOTE:  I HAVE USED A GRINDING STONE TO PREPARE THIS PACHADI AS THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE IS BEST TASTED WHEN GRINDED IN A GRINDING STONE. YOU CAN FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AND GRIND IT IN A MIXER GRINDER.

METHOD:

 Ø  In a kadai, add tomatoes, green chilli’s, 1/4^th cup water and cook till all the water evaporates and fry the veggies. Now add oil, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and sautéed them for 2 mins, off the gas.

 Ø  Now grind peanuts and salt into a fine powder, add sautéed chilli’s, tamarind paste, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds and grind them.

 Ø  Now add tomatoes one by one (don’t grind all the tomatoes together as it may spill out when you run the mixer) and grind it finely. In the end add onion (roughly chopped) and garlic cloves and grind them roughly.

 Ø  Transfer it to air tight container and can be stored in refrigerator for 2 – 3 days.
