Manga Pachadi is a sweet - sour - spicy thick syrupy preparation with raw mango.
Select raw mangoes which are sweet + sour ( if not then sour ones are fine)
Cut into random shaped pieces. I mean don't bother too much. Obviously the seed is to be removed .
In a frying pan give thadka ( seasoning) with following :
Mustard
Jeera
Hing
Pinch of Turmeric powder
2 to 3 red chillies ( as per taste)
Some curry leaves (Kadi Patta)
Put the cut mango pieces into the hot tadka , add little salt and some water, toss till done.
Add powdered jaggery , stir, cook to a moderately thick consistency ( till the jaggery is well blended)
This is Manga Pachadi. Goes well with Chapati. Can be eaten by itself also. A favorite with South Indians. It has a sweet + sour + salty + hot spicy taste and a very characteristic flavor .
