Pachadi refers to a traditional South Indian side-dish . I have fond of memories of it being served during weddings , It is typically made of finely chopped and boiled vegetables with coconut paste and tempered in oil . Read more It is similar to the north Indian Raita . Yogurt based pachadi can be made of any vegetable, although cucumbers, squash, mango, bitter gourd or pineapple are common and is eaten with rice and a lentil curry . See less
