Hey,
Have you tried grinding coconut, mustard seeds ( Instead of jeera) , green chillies …… worthwhile to explore once …it does taste good.Oh i love this dish ……
Yes Lakshmi. I have tried mustard instead of jeera. We call that version pachadi not pulisseri. Thats a different curry altogether. I have not tried making a sweet mango pachadi. We make it with pumpkin, ladysfinger, and tomato. Thanks for visiting :)
