Hi Indira, I am from Kerala and we make similar coconut chutney all the time at home. It can be made either with or without onion, dry like this, or more commonly, ‘looser’ with water. We don’t usually add tamarind. A different version is to add dry red chillies instead of green, so it will be a a nice light orangish color. We malayalis love coconut, cannot do without it. When we eat outside, the restaurants are graded on how their coconut chutney is, not how dosa/idli taste like.:-)

Hi! I am new to blogging and have recently been visiting your blog…love the pics n recipes!!

My last post on my blog was “Rava Pongal”…I was just thinking that this pachadi you have here would be a great accompaniment for it…I wonder if I should mention that in my post:))

HI indira,
I hope u dont mind asking me a totally unrelated question. I had been trying to make dosa since a long time. I have followed all the steps accurately. My problem is when I spread the batter on to the skillet, I cant seem to spread it like u do. As soon as I put the batter on the skillet, it seem to get cooked.I cant seem to get it to spread. Even on low heat, I dont seem to be able to get the ring or the whorl pattern.Kindly help.
Thank you

Hi Indira,

I am so, so happy to have found your website, thanks to another favorite food blogger, http://tigressinapickle.blogspot.com/. I love this recipe in particular, because I used to live in Los Angeles, and my favorite dosa place served a similar coconut chutney, which I loved, and never learned to make. I now live in a small town where Indian food is harder to find, so I am really excited to make not only this pacchadi, but so many of your other recipes. They look amazing, and boy, is my husband going to be thrilled. Perfect food to warm up our snowy days! Thank you!

Dear Indira, We make this at our home too, except we add a bit of water to hold it all together. ‘Thengai thuvaiyal’ is what we call it. Glad you like it as well. Happy new yr and happy pongal as well!
