Ingredients
Mango (raw) – 1 big size
Jaggery powdered – 1/2 cup
Sambar Powder – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Salt – a pinch
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Mustard – 1/2 teaspoon
Asafoetida – 1/4 teaspoon
Curry leaves – few
Directions
- Remove the skin from the mango. Slice it into medium size.
- Put all the mango slices in a heavy bottomed vessel. Add sambar powder, turmeric powder and salt. Add little water just to cover the mangoes.
- Cook it in a medium flame till the mango slices are soft.
- Now mash the cooked mango. Add jaggery powder. (You can increase or decrease the quantity depends upon the sourness of the mango).
- Allow to cook till the jaggery melts and blends well with mangoes.
- Heat the oil and add mustard seeds. When the mustard seed pops up, add asafoetida and curry leaves and pour over to the mangoes.
My mother always prepares it with green chilli. First time I am seeing that sambar powder can be used… Does it taste different?
Hi Sageetha Sarathy,
We can add green chilli too. I add sambar podi for “Karam” since it will blend well with the pachadi. Not much difference in the taste. The taste of this pachadi is sweet, sour and spicy.
