Pineapple Pachadi Recipe – Kerala Style Pineapple Raita

September 2, 2014 by Sharmilee J 4 Comments

Pineapple Pachadi Recipe

Pineapple Pachadi is a traditional kerala side dish which is made with pineapple in a coconut yogurt based sauce.Last year I posted Cucumber Pachadi so wanted to post a pachadi recipe this year.Pachadi is nothing but raita which is usually served as an accompaniment for meals in onam sadya.Pineapple Pachadi is a delicious raita with a sweet tangy taste and this is a must item in all sadyas.Be prepared to see more onam sadya recipes this week here 🙂

They call this pachadi as madhura curry with a slight variation with black grapes added to this pachadi.

My Notes:

  • The consitency whould be semi thick.
  • Don’t let the pineapple pieces turn mushy.It should be cooked to soft.There is another version where you can even mash the fruit but I prefer this version of chunky pineapple pieces.
  • Let the pineapple coconut mixture cool a  bit before you add curd else it will curdle.I added thick yogurt, if you want you can even whisk it once and then add it.
  • Coconut paste should not be very fine and should not be watery.
  •  If you feel pineapple is not very sweet then add sugar / jaggery while cooking it.I used a nicely ripe fruit so it was sweet so I skipped adding sugar / jaggery.
