Fruit curries like pachadi and pulisherri is an integral part of the traditional Kerala cuisine.Locally available fruits like pineapple, mango and sweet plantain are used to make some of these curries.Most of them are yogurt and coconut based curries and part of the traditional feast or  Kerala Sadhya.This pineapple pachadi is a unique dish. It is a mouthwatering delicacy which is sweet and tart,a combo of pineapple, coconut and yogurt/curd. There are different versions in different regions like pineapple mathura pachadi and pineapple tenga aracha curry. Here is two other versions which tastes equally delicious.

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year.
