Cucumber pachadi recipe a kerala style raita made with cucumber,coconut spices mixture and a simple tadka.
Cucumber pachadi recipe with step by step pictures and video.Easy cucumber pachadi kerala style recipe one of integral sidedishes in Onam Sadya Menu.
I have already posted cucumber kichadi years back but wanted to try this pachadi for this year Onam and post it.I was looking for recipes that I had missed out in the previous Onam Sadya Menu and found this cucumber pachadi so shot it along with video too.
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.
