Mango Pachadi
About Mango Pachadi
Summer is the season for mangoes. This mango pachadi is generally prepared during the occasion of Tamil New Year. We start the New Year with a combination of all six tastes of food (Arusuvai). This is made using raw mango(sour), tamarind(tangy), jaggery(sweet), chilli powder(spicy), salt and neem flowers(bitter). It is very easy to make and goes well with sambar / rasam rice.
