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 would 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, at weddings, they add a pinch of food colour, but since I don’t want to add the food colour, I didn’t add it. Check out my other Wedding style recipes:
