I chanced upon some fresh tender tamarind leaves while on a visit off the city limits. Its no longer available in the local subzi mandis/rythu bazaar and when I saw some fresh leaves, I just couldn’t resist the temptation. So with home grown freshly grated coconut, delicate raw tender leaves and a seasoning you can’t go wrong with, I made a simple pachadi to go with white rice.

A pachadi with a pleasing sweet-tart flavor, a sort of compelling taste that makes one salivate and ask for more. The most nourishing, comforting and tantalizing tastes are brought forth through raw food and the simplest of ingredients and perfect for the nutrition conscious, reminding that they are eating right and light.:)
