Notes

  • The whole cooking has to be done in medium flame to avoid burning.
  • The first step is to remove the sharp sourness from the mangoes.
  • If you dont have jaggery you can add sugar, my mil adds sugar mostly which gives a great colour too.
  • My jaggery was very old so it was dark in colour too,so the colour of the pachadi varies with the jaggery/sugar we are using.

Mango pachadi is a family favourite at my in-law’s place 😊…
