Raw Mango Pachadi (Mangai Pachadi), is one of the traditional and scrumptious pachadi we used to prepare for Tamil New Year’s day or for any auspicious occasion during mango season. Generally a pachadi for Tamil New Year’s day should have all the 6 flavour of tastes like sweet(Inippu), salt(Uppu), spice(Urappu), bitter(Kasapu), sour(Pulippu) and astringent(thuvarpu). Significance of this is to make us understand that life is a combination of mixed emotions like good, bad, happy, sorrow, victory and defeat and we have to face them equally. Here jaggery for sweet, salt for salty, red chilli for spice, neem flower for bitter, Raw Mango for sour and Turmeric for Astringent.
