Here's a short video on how to make Maangai Pachadi in English & Tamil...

Method

Keep all the ingredients ready.


Peel the mango, with peeler or knife. Now make slices and cut them to cubes. The size of it does not really matter.



In a kadai heat oil, add mustard seeds after it splutters, add cumin seeds, dried red chillies, curry leaves and sauté for about a minute.


Now add the mango pieces and sauté for 30-40 seconds.

Add 1 cup of water, mix really well and let it come to rolling boil. 


Now cover and cook for 5 to 7 min or until they turn soft.


Add the jaggery, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and stir well. 


Cook for another 5 – 7 min. 



Wait for it to turn to thick sauce and switch off the stove.


Finally garnish with neem flowers. This is totally optional, but is a tradition to add during the Tamil New Years day.


I have not added the neem flowers in end for garnishing. You can add it in the end if it is available.

Alternate Method

Heat jaggery with ½ cup of water, the jaggery will start to melt in about 4-5 minutes.  Now switch off the stove, filter it with a strainer. This straining eliminates the debris from jaggery. Then add it to the cooked mango and follow the same procedure.

Yummy and delicious mango pachadi is ready to be enjoyed.
