Cucumber pachadi recipe with step by step pictures and video.Easy cucumber pachadi kerala style recipe one of integral sidedishes in Onam Sadya Menu.

What is the difference between pachadi and kichadi?

Both kichadi and pachadi form an integral part of onam sandya though both are almost same there is a minor difference between the 2.

  • Pachadi has mustard seeds while grinding coconut mixture and kichadi has just coconut,jeera and green chilli.But I feel pachadi can be done without mustard too this is what I heard from my mallu friend.
  • Pachadi must use coconut but kichadi can be made without coconut too.

Variations:

You can replace cucumber with beetroot,ladies finger,pineapple etc.
