This recipe was given to me by my friend Mala. She is a Tamilian and she prepares this often. Hope you will try this simple recipe and get the goodness of the gooseberry , which is very good for health.

4-5 gooseberries

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

5-6 green chillies

1 cup curd

1/2 cup grated coconut

asafetida

Salt to taste

Method:

Cook the gooseberries in pressure cooker until soft. Deseed and mash them coarsely and keep aside. Grind the coconut, green chillies, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds into a paste and mix it with the mashed gooseberries. Add sufficient and salt and curds and mix well. Heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds. When they start to crackle, add the asafetida and mix it in the pachadi. This pachadi goes well with rice and sambar.
