A pachadi is a South Indian dish that falls somewhere between curry, salad, and condiment. This one is more like a chutney and goes well with the rice and dal. Fire-roasted tomatoes give the dish some smokiness. There's a bit of heat from the chiles, but the main flavors are sweet from the coconut and sugar and sour-cool from the yogurt. Ingredients:
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar |
2 bay leaves |
1 (28-ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes, undrained |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 1/4 teaspoons brown mustard seeds |
2 dried hot red chiles |
1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut |
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced |
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Spoon into a bowl; cool to room temperature. Discard bay leaves. 2. While tomato mixture cools, heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and red chiles. Cook, partially covered, 3 minutes or until seeds begin to pop, shaking pan frequently. Cool and discard red chiles. Add mustard mixture, coconut, and serrano to tomato mixture. Stir in yogurt. Serve immediately. |
