Tomato Perugu pachadi –
Tomato Yogurt Chutney |
| |
| |
|
Yogurt
based
chutneys
are an
integral
part of
South
Indian
cuisine
and in
Andhra
we
prepare
a range
of these
chutneys
using
vegetables,
either
raw or
cooked.
Prepared
from
different
combination
of
vegetables
and
sometimes
even
fruits,
they
have
good
nutritional
value,
very
simple
to
prepare
and
flavorful. |

|
A
classic
chutney
in our
parts is
tomato
perugu
pachadi
where
red
tomatoes
are
sauteed
in a
seasoning
of curry
leaves,
green
chillies
and
mustard
seeds
before
combining
with
beaten
curd.
Luscious
ripe
tart
tomatoes,
fresh
low fat
curds
and
hints of
green
chillies
and
coriander
leaves
define
this
tart,
healthy
and
delicious
chutney.
It has a
mingling
of
flavors
with the
right
balance
of
sweet,
sour and
spicy
notes.
Goes
good
with
both
rice and
chapatis. |
