About this recipe
For many this recipe may be very new, this Urad Dal Pachadi is a Nellore delicacy. Nellore is a coastal city in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The main ingredient in this recipe is Urad dal. Pan fried urad dal, dry red chili, cumin and coriander are ground to a coarse paste with tamarind.
In the olden days mortar was used to make this pachadi. You can also make it in a small blender, just make sure you pulse it few times. Do not make fine paste. If you make it very smooth the taste changes completely.
