    Kalyana sweet pachadi recipe

    sweet pachadi is widely served at Tamil Brahmin weddings/ special meals. Tasty South Indian pachadi with colorful beets is easy to prepare and makes any feast extra special. beetroot pachadi is also served for Onam sadya. If you like  Saravana Bhavan-style beetroot sweet pachadi this recipe won't disappoint you.

    Coarse grind or mash cooked beetroot follow the rest of the steps for bhai veetu beetroot pachadi. 

    SHOULD I PRESSURE-COOK beetroot?

    You can saute beetroot and prepare pachadi but it takes a long time for the beets.  Pressure-cooking beets are faster hence I prefer doing it.

    CAN I SKIP SUGAR FOR KALYANA beetroot PACHADI?

    Traditionally white sugar is added to the Sweet Kalyana pachadi. For a healthier version, you can use brown sugar, and jaggery but the taste might not be similar. If you prefer using honey, add very little sugar and cook the fruits, turn off the stove and add honey

    SHOULD I COOK SUGAR TO STRING CONSISTENCY?

    No, you can just add sugar to the cooked beets. 

    Can I add rose flavor?

    To make it more flavorful you can add a little rose syrup or rose essence. Avoid adding more as that will dominate the pachadi flavor.

    Can I skip Corn flour?

    Corn flour is optional for homestyle sweet beet pachadi but to make it saravana bhavan beetroot sweet pachadi, I would recommend little corn flour. It gives glossy and the best texture to the sweet pachadi. Avoid adding more as that might make it to halwa texture.

    1/3 cup beetroot, peeled and cubed

    1/4 cup water
