Happy Tamil New Year!!
It is customary to make this sweet, sour and spicy mango pachadi on New Year day. This is my mom's recipe. It's my favorite and I love it with curd rice.
Ingredients:
1 Raw mango
2 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp urud dal
1/4 tsp hing
Few curry leaves
1 Green chilli
2 Red chillies
Salt
1/3 cup Jaggery
1 Cup water
1 tsp rice flour
Method:
Chop mango into big pieces (with skin).
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, urud dal, red chillies, hing, green chilli, curry leaves.
When mustard seeds crackle, add mango pieces and fry for 10 minutes.
Add 1 cup water, jaggery and salt. Cook until mangoes turn soft. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Take rice flour, add little water and make a thick paste. Add this to the mango mixture. Cook for a minute.
Vepamboo (neem flower) is roasted and added in the end. But I didn't have any.
Serve along with rice, sambar and curry.
