Perugu pachadi is a tasty yogurt-based Andhra special dish. Any vegetable can be added to this pachadi. Perugu pachadi tastes yum as a side /or can even be mixed with rice.
I first heard about perugu pachadi from my friend, during our phone conversation. I asked what she cooked for lunch, and she said perugu pachadi, and as I was not familiar with that term I asked her what it is. She explained the preparation, and I told her it's tomato raita and I know it. My friend told me it's different from raw tomato raita, as sauted tomato gives a different taste to it. When we met she cooked this pachadi, eggplant curry, and pappu. Ever since that day, I started cooking it regularly at home. My hubby calls it "Easy Mor Kuzhambu". Perugu pachadi also tastes good as a side for biryani

BTW, Perugu Pachadi just means Pachadi with Perugu (Dahi) aka Raita aka Thayir Pachadi.
