Pachadi which is a Kerala recipe can be used as a side, accompaniment as well as a main curry with plain boiled rice. This recipe is taken from noted blogger and author Ammini Ramachandran's award winning book - Grains, Greens and Grated Coconuts. I have added a tempering before serving the Pachadi as I wanted it to take the place of the curry as I was serving to with rice. Its absolutely mouthwatering and a must try for those who love South Indian cuisine!
