Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Nellikai Thayir Pachadi is one of the traditional and conventional Pachadi Variety in Tamil Nadu. We make this during Dwadasi, the next day of Ekadasi to break the fasting. Pachadi is similar to Raita. The main ingredient is curd along with some vegetables. The main difference between Pachadi and Raita is that, for Raita its simple We just add the vegetable raw without any cooking and add spice like Green chili or Pepper and garnish with coriander leaves. For Pachadi, we grind the coconut along with green chili and mustard. The coconut spice paste really adds a nice flavor. This Pachadi is generally served as an accompaniment / side dish with Poricha Kuzhambu, Sambar or Rasam.

Ingredients

  • 2 Gooseberry Washed, de-seeded, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon Mustard Seeds
  • 2 teaspoon Grated Coconut
  • 3 Green Chili
  • ½ Cup Fresh Curd
  • Salt As Needed

For Tempering

  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
  • Few Curry Leaves

Instructions 

Preparing Gooseberry

  • Take 2 good Gooseberries and wash it thoroughly. De-seed the gooseberries and chop it into small cubes

Grinding Process

  • Take the Chopped Gooseberries along with mustard seeds, green chili and grated coconut in a mixer jar
  • Grind everything to a smooth paste

Mixing with Curd

  • In a small bowl, take the fresh curd and the coconut spice paste and mix well. Add salt and give a good mix

Tempering Process

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and allow it to sputter. Then add curry leaves and saute for few seconds and then add this tempering to the prepared Pachadi
  • The delicious Nellikai Thayir Pachadi is ready to serve!

Notes

  1. The curd we use should be fresh. Gooseberry already has sourness in it. So if we use sour curd, the pachadi will be even more sour.
  2. We can make Pachadi by following this same method and use Mavadu, Chena (Yam), Tomato, Okra or plain Pachadi.
  3. Adding Mustard seeds in the grinding process is optional. You can just grind Gooseberry, Green Chili, Coconut and add to curd.
