SWEET PACHADI...

my great granny's special "roti pachadi" recipe... mix of spiciness and sweetness is a great treat to your taste buds.. 




TIME TAKEN: 20 MINS.

INGREDIENTS:

Red chili’s
12
Fresh coconut
1 cup (chopped roughly)
Coriander seeds
1 tsp
Cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp
Jaggery
1 cup (grated)
Salt
To taste
Onions
½
Garlic cloves
8 - 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  Heat a teaspoon of oil in kadai, add red chili’s and roast them till brown. Now add coriander seeds roast them and then add cumin seeds and roast them and off the gas.


 Ø  Now add salt and coconut to the red chili’s and grind them finely. Now add jaggery and grind it.


 Ø  In the end add onions and garlic cloves and grind them roughly as shown in the pic below.


Serve it with dosa or idly along with ghee…

SUGGESTIONS:

ü  This pachadi can be stored in refrigerator for 20 days – one month.


ü  Store it in an air tight container and always use a clean and dry spoon for serving it.
