Pineapple Pachadi

There is hardly anyone I know who did not like this Pineapple Pachadi once they tasted it. The sour-sweetness of the pineapple where the sweetness is enhanced by the jaggery and the sourness by the yogurt along with slight spicy hints of cumin and red chilies is a magical combination of tastes in itself.

As I have said earlier in my post about Kerala Sadya Recipes, the sadya is such a well thought out feast where the natural taste and flavors of all seasonal vegetables is brought out and enhanced by careful additions of coconut, yogurt, cumin, chilies and curry leaves. There is one dish that is more sweet, another one that is sour, a third one that is both sweet and sour, yet another one that is sour and spicy and there is also a bitter element thrown into it with a bitter melon or gooseberry and finally the earthy coconut flavor ties them all up. Each mouthful which is various different combos of these flavors will only leave you in wonderment!

Pineapple Pachadi for Kerala Sadya (8 of 9)

Even though this pineapple pachadi is originally intended as a side for the sadya, in my experience, everyone loves it so much, that there is never enough. So, I always make as much as of this pineapple pachadi as I would of sambar or one of the major sides like avial.

Now that I have tempted you enough describing this pachadi, lets move on to the recipe.

If this makes your mouth water, don’t forget to check out the recipes for Ethapazham Pachadi (Ripe Plantain Curry) and Mambazha Pachadi (Sweet and Sour Mango Curry) as well as our other Kerala Sadya Recipes.

    Wonderful mouth-watering dish and beautiful pictures. Though my husband is not a fan of sweet taste in meals, but I am planning to make it soon. Hope he will like it.

      Thank you Vandana. If you don’t want it too sweet, you can skip the jaggery in the recipe and there will only be the natural slight sweetness from the pineapple ?
