Mango pachadi Recipe

Recipe Category: Pachadi | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Pachadi | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Raw mango – 1 medium sized (2 cups chopped)
Powdered Jaggery – 1/2 cup heaped
Salt – as required
Rice flour – 1 tsp mixed with 3 tsp water
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – to taste
To Temper:
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Red Chillies – 2
Curry leaves – few
Hing(perungayam) – a pinch
Oil – 2 tsp
Method:
- Soak jaggery in warm water(till immersing level, I used 1/4 cup) , crush it well. Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked).Strain and keep aside.
- Wash the raw mango well, trim the edges. Chop them into cubes.Discard the seed part.
- Take chopped mango in pan along with water till immersing level.Let it cook for few mins until mangoes become soft.Add jaggery syrup.
- Let it cook for 5mins in simmer.Add required salt.When the mangoes are nicely blended with the jaggery syrup, you can start with tempering in parallel.In a tadka pan heat oil – add mustard seeds,red chillies,hing and curry leaves let it splutter, keep it ready.
- Add rice flour paste, and let it boil in low flame for 2mins.Then add the tempering, mix well and switch off.
Serve warm with rice and sambar.
My Notes:
- Adjust jaggery syrup according to the sourness of raw mango.
- I used kili mooku maanga.You can use any variety.
- Adding rice flour paste is also optional, it is just to give thickness to the curry.
- This keeps well for 3 days if refrigerated.
- If you prefer to peel off the skin of raw mango then peel it.You can even add mango seed but i usually discard it.Amma adds it attimes.
That looks so mouthwatering.
yessss
