Dosakaya kalchina pachadi Recipe | How to make Dosakaya Kalchina Pachadi | (Kalchina Dosakaya Pachadi)

Hi friends, Thank you all for visiting my website. Today's recipe is Dosakaya kachina pachadi or simply call it as dosakaya pachadi or yellow cucumber pachadi.

I call dosakaya kalchina pachadi andhra style as kakkigari pachadi. The idea of dosakaya kalchina pachadi for rice was given by a great telugu writer #MullapudiVenkataRamana. In a book named Akshara he described about his life and living style. He narrated in that article saying that he was having a yellow cucumber or dosakaya creeper in his backyard during his childhood days. His mother or grandmother used to prepare different recipes with dosakaya like dosakaya pappu, dosakaya kura, dosa vorugulu(yellow cucumber chips that are sun dried), and also dosakaya kalchina pachadi recipe. I read about it long back and I liked the name of the recipe dosakaya kalchina pachadi. I tried it and from then onwards yellow cucumber pachadi recipe became a part in my menu.

Now let us come to the recipe. If we make this pachadi in mortar and pestle only, we get the proper taste. Of course making any pachadi using mortar and pestle gives a good taste. But we can make pachadi in mixer grinder also. If you use mixer grinder to make the pachadi use only 'pulse or whip' button.
