MANGAI PACHADI


When i think of summer ,one thing that immediately comes to my mind is yummy mangoes.Its considered to be one among mukkani (three tasty fruits)-Pala(jack fruit )Vazhai(bananna) being the other two ,that's mentioned in tamil literatutes.Salem in tamilnadu , which is famous for its mangoes is my native place so obviously i love mangoes so much. Love to have them in any form, be it- milkshake or mango rice or mango jam or mango pickle or Mango pachadi .But here in US i dont think the mangoes taste as good as what we get in india.But still my craving for mango pachadi was so much that i finally got a mango and did pachadi yesterday.
