I chanced upon some fresh tender tamarind leaves while on a visit off the city limits. Its no longer available in the local subzi mandis/rythu bazaar and when I saw some fresh leaves, I just couldn’t resist the temptation. So with home grown freshly grated coconut, delicate raw tender leaves and a seasoning you can’t go wrong with, I made a simple pachadi to go with white rice.
