Made with coconut paste, curd, pineapple pieces & spices 🍍🥥
A must-have for Kerala festive meals – Onam Sadya Special! 🌿

For me, Pineapple Pachadi is not just a dish – it’s a memory of Onam Sadya at home. 🍃 Each year, our banana leaf feast feels incomplete without this sweet and tangy pachadi on the side. The burst of pineapple sweetness blended with creamy curd and coconut paste adds a refreshing contrast to the spicy curries and crispy banana chips on the leaf. I remember how everyone at the table would wait eagerly for that spoonful of pachadi to balance the flavors. Even today, making this dish brings back the joy of togetherness, festive vibes, and the simple happiness of sharing a traditional Kerala meal with loved ones. 💛
