    IMG_5565 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

      This perugu pachadi is my dad's favourite accompaniment for all Pulavs and Biryanis. 🙂

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

      This used to be one of my favorites! You can make it with other vegetables too such as steamed snake gourd, bottle gourd, spinach etc. A very Andhra recipe 🙂
