Beerakaya Kothimira Pachadi/ Ridgegourd Coriander Chutney
I love andhra pachadi a lot goes well with hot rice,idly and dosa. This ridge gourd and brinjal are a die for flavors in andhra pachadi. I changed the recipe little bit according to my flavor. If your taking it with rice make it chunky instead of paste but when pairing with dosa or idly grind it smooth. Here are some of my fav pachadi from andhra and goes well with hot white rice like Gongura Pachadi, Vankai Dosakai/ Brinjal Pachadi.I got this recipe from on of my diary that had andhra recipes bookmarked. I dont have the book name sorry will let you know soon. Linking this yummy pachadi to srivali's CCC challenge.
