Thakkali Pachadi , an easy & delicious accompaniment for rice with sambar or with any south indian one pot meal. Thakkali pachadi is the must accompaniment for kootan soru, ulunthu soru or paruppu soru in our home and it's my favorite pachadi.
In my schooldays, i love to have parappu soru with this pachadi in my lunch box and all my friends also very fond of this pachadi, so i used to pack some extra pachadi for all of them.

Notes:
- Adjust the water according to your preferred consistency.
- Adjust the chili powder according to the sourness of the tomato.
- If you're tomato have more sourness, you may need more chili powder than i mentioned here.
- Don't add more coconut than i mentioned here, it will spoil the taste and the pachadi will be bland.
