Green tomato pachadi is a tasty side dish prepared with green tomatoes, onions and green chillies as the main ingredients. It goes well with idli, dosa, curd rice and even chapathi. The green tomatoes are usually tangy when compared to red tomatoes and there is no need to add tamarind for the pachadi.
To make this green tomato pachadi you will need
Onions - it adds a delicious sweetness to the dish. Make sure to slice the onions thinly, so that it will be blended well with the tomatoes.
Green chillies - as we are preparing pachadi with green tomatoes I don't want to lose the beautiful colour. So I have added green chillies in more quantities. You can increase or decrease the amount of green chillies, according to your spice level.
Green tomatoes - slice the tomatoes thinly because it takes more time to cook when compared to red tomatoes. In the final stage, I have mashed the tomatoes with a wooden masher, so you can get a smooth texture. If you prefer a chunky texture, cook the pachadi for a longer time.
Others - To give the pachadi additional flavour and colour, sprinkle half a teaspoon of chilli powder and sambar powder. Pachadi tastes best with a hint of sweetness, so i have added jaggery powder and it will balance the taste also so don't skip it. You can either use gingely oil or groundnut oil for the pachadi.

Turn off the heat and mash the mixture well with a wooden masher until the tomatoes are mashed well.
