Another Onam special recipe here today at Slurrpy, Pineapple Pachadi is an authentic Kerala dish that’ll keep you licking your fingers!
You see, in retrospect we were wondering that there are so many good things to eat in the world and be happy and yet we have terrorists. Imagine a terrorist moving through a field of pineapples and he gets diverted to make pachadi rather than killing? The world would have been such a great place to stay.
