Ugadi Pachhadi Prearations
Plucpk neem flowers from the stems. Pluck fully bloomed flowers otherwise they taste more bitter. Pluck all the flowers and keep them aside. Take a tender mango and wash it. Unlike fully grown raw mango, a tender raw mango has a peculiar flavor. So use a fully grown raw mango only and only in case you do not get a tender raw mango. Peel the mango and cut it vertically. Remove the inner portion of the mango (JEEDI) and cut it into fine pieces. The vegetables you eat should also look nice to eat—they taste good and look nice to eat. Soak tamarind in water till soft. Squeeze out the pulp from the soaked tamarind—or else put the soaked tamarind in a mixie jar and run it to get a smooth pulp. Take only smooth pulp and discard the residue. Grate or powder the jaggery. Similarly, wash and finely chop the green chili. Here we are chopping all the ingredients finely—this is because—they get mixed well soon, they look good in appearance and also they taste better to eat.Method:
Take tamarind pulp in a bowl and add finely chopped green chilies, neem flowers, grated jaggery, finely chopped mango, and salt. Mix all well till the jaggery is melted.
