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:

Bisi bele bath, using millets with step by step pictures. Bisi bele bath is a popular Karnataka dish, made usingMillets and toor dal and other freshly ground Sambar masala. I have already posted my version of Bisi bele bath recipe with video, but i don't claim it as authentic Karnataka recipe. This Millet Bisi bele bath recipe i have already given in my First cook book on Millets, Neengalum Samaikalam Sirudhaniyam. Recently i tried a slightly different version of bisi bele bath, which i learnt from my co sister.  I have tried this some time back using rice and shared in Jeyashris kitchen Instagram too. I generally use home made sambar powder and fresh spices for making bisi bele bath, but she always uses only fresh masala. I generally don't add cinnamom or clove in Bisi bele bath as my family don't like it that way. Kids love this version too, but today when i made this recipe by replacing millets with rice, i was not sure as how they will respond. They enjoyed the Millet Bisi bele bath and we had Yam Tawa fry and cut mango pickle to pair with this hot hot bisi bela bath | sambar rice.

So i named it the same. Later when i googled, i came to know that there is a recipe for popular Nilgiri Chicken kurma. This Nilgiri Veg kurma turned out so delicious and it pairs very well with rotis and pooris. The addition of coconut milk in the end gives a nice taste to the kurma. The best crowd pleaser recipe, also goes well with Kuska biryani too. I made this Nilgiri kurma in my new Prestige Pressure pan(4 litres).
