Watch Recipe Video : 


Know about the Recipe : 
UGADI is a traditional festival of Telugu people. Our Telugu New Year count starts from this auspicious day. Along with many delicious, traditional dishes, we Telugus prepare authentic "UGADI PACHADI" and offer as Naivedyam to God.  Ugadi Pachadi is prepared by the mixture of 'six tastes (Shadruchulu)' i.e., sweet, hot, sour, tangy, bitterness and saltiness denote the six tastes of life. 

Ugadi Pachadi is prepared in different styles in different regions of Telugu states. Today I am presenting my native Rayalaseema style of Ugadi Pachadi. This authentic, traditional dish is prepared using Tamarind pulp, grated mango, grated dry coconut, jaggery, little red chilli powder, little salt, neem leaves and poppy seeds. The major difference in the making of Rayalaseema style Ugadi Pachadi  is using of Neem Petals instead of complete neem flowers and using of poppy seeds (khus khus) bring a unique flavour to this Ugadi Pachadi. 

Please watch video and step-by-step photso, try it and prepare it on the auspicious "Ugadi" Festival day. Wish you all a very Happy and Prosperous UGADI. Andariki Ugadi Subhakankshalu...! May god bless you all...!!!
