mango pachadi recipe

Mango pachadi recipe is a traditional recipe made with raw mango and packed with a mix of flavors like sour, spicy, sweet and salt in it. Generally, its made on the day of Tamil new year.

Neem flowers are also added when making it on that auspicious day. While adding neem flower/ vappampoo is optional, I have made with sweet and spicy version.

The shelf life of this curry pachadi is more than 2 weeks if refrigerated just like any instant pickles. It can be stored in an airtight container and used as and when needed.

The selection of raw mango plays a vital role in this pachadi. It has to be a very sour variety so that spice and sweetness added neutralizes else the sweetness or the spicy taste may dominate. In that case, I have seen some adding tamarind water to make it tangy. But, I would suggest choosing a very sour variety of mango.
