Let me start with a favourite:
ARACHU KALAKKI : A kerala style pachadi. Can be used as a side dish and tastes yummy when mixed with rice and consumed with side dishes like curries, pickles, pappadam, chips etc.
BASIC RECIPE (serves 2) : Into the blender- throw 2 green chillies, salt ( to taste) , 2 table spoons coconut scrapings, a small grape sized ball of tamarind, and asafoetida powder. Blend with little water into a fine mixture. Empty the contents into a bowl, Add a copius amount of thick curd and mix well to a pachadi consistency. Heat a teaspoon of coconut oil, splutter mustard, add curry leaves and garnish the pachadi. READY!
VARIATION: For the tangy part of the recipe, tamarind can be substituted with raw mango or amla/ nellikai.
