Fried bitter gourd in ground coconut & yogurt…<\/p>\n

This is a Kerala vegetarian dish, one of the side dishes served in Sadya. There are a few Kerala vegetarian dishes that call for ground coconut & yogurt like Pulissery, Kichadi & Pachadi.<\/p>\n

For making these dishes a variety of vegetables can be added like bitter gourd, okra, cucumber, beetroot, etc.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between Pulissery, Kichadi & Pachadi???<\/strong><\/p>\n

For making pulissery, vegetables like beetroot, cucumber, okra or fruits like mango, pineapple, and ripe plantains can be used. First, the vegetables & fruits have to be cooked, and then ground coconut is added & cooked, finally yogurt is added along with the tempering (coconut oil, mustard seeds, dried red chilies & curry leaves). The requirement for pulissery is that the ground coconut has to be cooked.<\/p>\n

Kichadi & Pachadi are almost similar with slight differences.<\/p>\n

For making Kichadi, vegetables like bitter gourd & okra are fried, and then ground coconut is added along with yogurt & the tempering. While grinding coconut, mustard seeds are added for Kichadi. Ground coconut is not cooked.<\/p>\n

Pachadi, Pacha in Malayalam means Raw. For making Pachadi, vegetables like cucumber, beetroot & bitter gourd can be used, they are not cooked. To the raw grated or chopped vegetables, ground coconut is added along with yogurt & the tempering. For Pachadi, while grinding coconut mustard seeds are not added.<\/p>\n

I love all the Kerala & South Indian bitter gourd dishes, bitter gourd pulikari, bitter gourd theeyal in roasted coconut gravy, thoran, poriyal, kichadi, etc.<\/p>\n

I made this Kichadi with bitter gourd, for making this I fried the bitter gourd that way we wouldn’t feel the bitter taste & then combined it with ground coconut & yogurt. Finally, topped with aromatic tempering.<\/p>\n

A healthy vegetarian dish served with rice.<\/p>\n
