A few years back I did not know what Pachadi was, the blogging world teaches you so much. I could have never thought of making a raita (or pachadi if you would prefer) with shredded coconut. For the Orrisa Thali , I made coconut raita , though I made a very small portion. I served a tsp to everyone wondering and waiting anxiously to see the reactions of family members. Surprisingly everyone loved it and wanted more . Do I need to say more ?

I made something similar for Tamilnadu and as you said, it does not need many words. Yum!!

This is one of my all time favorite. To this we add either tomato or cucumber.
What a delightful dish..if I remember right, we have something similar in Tamil Cuisine too..
That is a very interesting raita. I have a ton of coconut in the freezer, will try it for myself soon.
