Andhra style pachadi

It is similar to Tamil Nadu style thogayal. Sesame seeds and peanut gives amazing flavor to Andhra-style pachai tomato pachadi. 

What kind of tomatoes should I use for pachadi?

I have used green raw tomatoes. Tartness gives amazing flavor to the chutney. You can use any variety of tomatoes, but pachadi taste varies according to the tomatoes. Always use sour tomatoes. If you are using red tomatoes add tamarind to adjust the flavor.

Should I pressure-cook tomatoes?

Sauteeing tomatoes in the oil gives the best flavor. You can pressure cook or steam tomatoes;  prepare pachadi but the flavor might vary.

THOGAYAL | THUVAIVAL VARIETY

When it comes to Thogayal varieties most of the Thuvaiyal varieties we do in our homes will have a blend of vegetables, lentils, coconut, and spice. Compared to the chutney variety Thogayal are thick. Tempering is optional for thogayal varieties.  For this particular variety, I have skipped coconut.

HOW TO CUT  raw tomatoes?

I prefer chopping them into small pieces as it is quick and fast. Also, it helps to crush easily

IS IT SPICY  raw tomato pachadi ?

My version is not spicy. Adjust the green chilli according to your taste.

SHOULD I ADD WATER WHILE GRINDING?

I prefer not to add water. Moisture in tomatoes is enough for grinding.

Can I grind in a mixie?

Yes in that case pulse tomatoes as it gives the best texture.
