Kalyana Sweet pachadi recipe | Mixed fruits pachadi

Kalyana Sweet pachadi recipe | Mixed fruits pachadi| Pazha pachadi is generally served in Tamil Brahmin weddings. We also serve this during festivals at home. As today is Ugadi festival, i thought i will share this recipe in Jeyashri's Kitchen. I learnt this from a cook mami, who came to our house for cooking, during the time of my son Varun's upanayanam. She used only apple for this pachadi. I have already posted a tomato Sweet pachadi, which is my mom's signature dish. Generally in weddings they add a pinch of food colour, but since i don't want to add the food colour, i didn't add. Check out my other Wedding style recipes:
