4. Green chilies – 2 – 3, slit

5. Water – 1/4 cup

To Season

13. Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp

14. Dry red chilies – 2 – 3

15. Curry leaves – 1 sprig

Method

1. In a pan, add the crushed pineapple, turmeric powder, green chilies and salt. Add very little water (not more than 1/4 cup) as water will ooze out from the pineapple while cooking.

2. Cook covered till the pineapple is half-done, about 10 – 15 minutes at medium heat, then add the grapes. Close with the lid and cook at low flame, until the grapes are tender and their juice blends with the pineapple. Don’t over-cook the grapes (to retain their color and shape). Add the sugar if needed.

3.  Meanwhile grind the grated coconut and cumin seeds to a very fine paste, adding water, if required. Now add 1/4 tsp mustard seeds to this paste and give 2 – 3 pulses OR You can crush the mustards in a mortar and pestle.

4. Add the ground coconut mixture to the cooked pineapple-grape mixture. Mix well and cook for a few minutes at medium – low heat, until the raw taste of coconut is gone. Add yoghurt when slightly cooled. Taste check for salt.

5. In another pan, add 2 – 3 tsp coconut oil. Splutter mustards, fry dry red chilies and add curry leaves. Pour it over the pachadi and mix well.
