Manga pachadi is a sweet dish prepared with raw mango and jaggery. It's usually prepared during the Tamil new year to add some sourness to the food. Pachadi can be prepared within 15 minutes.
I love festivals for one main reason, yes yes it's the food. Widespread of the dishes make it so special. Any festival I remember is all about cooking a variety of recipes. I miss one thing after coming to the US, food on banana leaves. In our Chennai house, the banana leaves vendor was so close and just because I like having food in banana leaves. Amma gets it even during weekends. Here it's not common and it's very expensive.
Tamil new year is on April 14 th. According to the Tamil calendar that's is the first day of the year. Farmers celebrate it so special. In our home on Tamil new year, Amma makes the widespread of dishes.
In the pachadi category, Manga and Vepambo pachadi will be there. She explains to me that we might face a lot of ups and downs in the coming new year to take everything positively we have Sourness, bitterness, sweet flavor.
Raw mango pachadi can be prepared within 15 minutes. Pressure cook the manga and soaking the jaggery parallelly saves a lot of time.
Ever since childhood, whenever I see mangoes at home I ask Amma to prepare Pachadi. Though it's a great side, I always prefer having it as dessert:-)
Traditional Mango Pachadi has Chilli Powder/Chilli for the hotness, but since I prefer the Pachadi to be fully I skip it.

Notes
- The raw Mango I used was not sour, so I added little tamrind extract for sourness, you can skip it according to the taste
- Rice flour addition helps in thickening the Pachadi, can skip it
- Avoid adding rice flour directly to the pachadi as it might turn lumpy
- Instead of using pressure cooker can also cook mangoes directly in the pan
- You can use red/green Chilli while tempering
- Usually the Pachadi is prepared with raw Mango but ripe mangoes can be used if desired
