Pachadi/Pachady is a traditional Kerala side dish. In Kerala this dish can be made with different vegetables and fruits like winter melon/ ash gourd, cucumber, bitter gourd, beetroot, pineapple, mango, apple etc. and I have Kumbalanga Pachadi (Winter Melon Curry) recipe in my blog.
Beetroot Pachadi is a beetroot preparation in mild spiced coconut and yogurt based gravy. It is similar to North Indian preparation called ‘Beetroot Raita’. It is very healthy, fresh, simple dish and easy to prepare. Beetroot Pachadi is an indispensable side dish for Kerala Onam/Vishu Sadya, Keralites Vegetarian Feasts. For this Onam season, this simple and colourful recipe is a great help for your sadya Preparations.
Life becomes a festival when it is cheerful and culture blend and Onam brings both messages to us 🙂 so dear keralites try to enjoy and celebrate your onam with maximum and good spirit 🙂 May this special days, may you indulge in feasting with your loved ones, may peace and joy fill your hearts and homes! Happy Onam dears 😀
