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 know you will love this hot, sweet and sour pachadi…Try it and tell me how it came for you..

HI Aarthi,
I have tastes similar pachadi sometime back..its was good….glad to see the recipe here now…tq
Looks super hot and delicious.
Very yummy…looks perfect. Would like to have it now…
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!
Its looking yummy…But we called it as curry when cooked on stove..instead of grinding with garlic jeera and tamarind
