Mambazha Pachadi
Mambazha pachadi ia a seasonal and traditional recipe prepared during tamil varusha porappu /Chithirai kani and Vishu kani. This pachadi can be made with or without tamarind. I learnt this recipe from my paati. In my home, we mix it with hot rice and have it with papad. It tastes yum and is a popular one in my home. This can also be used as a side dish for molagootal which is another super hit recipe from Kerala Iyer’s kitchen.There is another popular recipe called mangai pachadi which is made with unripened mangoes. But here we use ripened mangoes to make this pachadi.Some more South Indian graviesChinna Vengaya VathakuzhambuMurungai keerai molagootalSundakkai arachuvitta VathakuzhambuNellikai ArachukalakkiAviyalSaadham masaalThengai varuthu kottina porichozhambuChinna Vengaya Sambar/ Shallots SambarOrange skin kuzhambuThakkali kootan
