The Mango season has started already and I was thrust upon around a dozen mangoes from a known person. The same friend who gave me around 10 mangoes last year too and made me concoct  raw mango recipes such as pickle, rasam, rice, thayir kadugu manga,..etc with them. I was not entirely happy with the photographs of the pachadi which I had prepared last year I decided to prepare the same recipe & come out with a better photograph to share with you.

This is a different take of the other pachadi I have shared earlier the Kerala thayir kadugumanga which is served for Onam sadya. That recipe includes red chilli powder and mustard powder. This recipe totally varies in taste as well as texture with the addition of ginger and green chillies. Tastes similar to the gooseberry pachadi.
