I learnt this recipe from my grandmother. Tomato sweet pachadi is a traditional dish served at Tamil weddings as part of the cuisine.
What you need
Tomato - 12
Sugar - 2 1/2 cups
Water - 1/2 cup
Dates, deseeded - 4-5
Raisins - 1 tbsp
Cashewnuts - 1-2 tbsp
Ghee - 2 tsp
Cooking instructions
Wash and chop the tomato into small pieces.
To a heavy-bottomed vessel (or pressure cooker), add sugar and water.
Add the chopped tomato and stir well on a low flame.
The process will take 35-45 minutes to reach a pachadi consistency.
Fry the dates, cashew nuts, raisins separately in ghee and add to the pachadi.
Mix well. Serve warm or chilled.
