Pineapple Pachadi

Served as part of the Onam Sandhya feast in Kerala, Pineapple Pachadi celebrates the tropical fruit introduced to India by the Portuguese in the 16th century. ‘Pachdi’ is the generic Malayalam term for yoghurt-based curries. Though pachdi is often made with cucumber, gourds, or other vegetables, this recipe uses sweet, tangy, ripe pineapples cooked with coconut, yoghurt, and spices. While it technically looks more like a chutney, it is best enjoyed like a curry with freshly steamed rice and pappadum.
