I often make a variety of pachadis with different fruits & veggies and this one with pine-apple remain my favourite. Also, it is one of the common fares of the Onam Sadya. Pineapple, the lovely tropical fruit is full of Vitamin C & is a good source of fibre & potassium. Also it is very tummy- friendly ! I guess it makes more sense to snack this spiky fruit as much as possible !
Pachadi is a traditional south Indian Side- Dish and refers to food that has been pounded. It is made differently among South Indian regions. While in kerala & Tamilnadu, pachadi is a side-dish curry similar to the north Indian raita, in Andhra Pradesh, pachadi is a fresh pickle and has very low shelf life, a maximum of two or three days. It is made of fresh vegetables and is served as an accompaniment for rice, snacks like idli, dosa, and pesarattu. Many kinds of vegetables are included. Sometimes the peel of the vegetable is also used, such as the peel of Ridged Gourd. Finely chopped and boiled vegetables mix with ground coconut & red or green and tempered in oil with mustard and curry leaves. Curd/yogurt based pachadi also can be made of any vegetable or fruits. Pachadi is commonly eaten with rice and a lentil curry (Adapted from:WIKI).
