A pachadi is a South Indian dish that falls somewhere between curry, salad and condiment. This one is more like a chutney and goes well with rice and dal. There's a bit of heat from the chiles, some smokiness from the tomatoes, but the main flavors are sweet from the coconut and sugar and sour and coolness from the yogurt.

Makes 1 1/4 cups or 10 (2-tablespoon) servings.
