Notes

For a perfect sweet and tangy pachadi, follow these tips and tricks :
  • Wash and clean the raw mangoes with a cloth. Dry them well before chopping.
  • If you want a chunky pachadi, cut the raw mangoes in larger pieces.
  • If the pachadi is too sweet, add a spoon of lemon juice to balance the sour taste.
  • While tempering make sure the mustard seeds crackle and curry leaves splutter. It gives a nutty texture to the pachadi.
  • For a creamy pachadi, you can even add some coconut paste.
