Notes

1.In south india this chutney is made with roasted sesame seeds too..
2.To enhance the flavor of the chutney add a teaspoon or two of nuvvula podi or roasted sesame seeds powder into the chutney along with cooked bottle gourd mixture and blend. This gives an amazing taste to the pachadi...
3.Do not add water to the pachadi/chutney while blending as doing so spoils the chutney...
4.I have added a tomato into the pachadi but the chutney can be made even without adding a tomato.
