Milagai Pachadi Recipe with step by step pictures. This Onion pachadi recipe with tangy flavor of the tamarind is blended well with the spicy green chillies and a little sweetness from the jaggery.
Amma's Chilli Onion Pachadi
This is my amma's famous recipe, she makes this more often than anything else. Whenever she makes her paruppu kulambu( DAL), it must be accompanied by this pachadi. Warm Dal mixed with hot rice along with a generous drizzle of homemade ghee and let's not forget the papadam, mix all those together, take a generous portion out of it( don't ask me how generous, as long as the portion fits your mouth) form it into round balls.
Now comes the interesting part, dip that round ball in this pachadi and without any delay throw them into your mouth. I should tell you this, this taste like heaven..It reminds so much of amma for me.

I made this today to have with rice and dal. I told my husband that "it's Aarthi's amma's recipe" and because I've already cooked so many things from your blog and told stories about them, he said "Oh, so it's probably all made of chillis", and I said "hehe, almost". He tried it and kept saying how well it goes with our dinner, and that your amma deserves applause for such a good recipe. Thanks for sharing!
