Manga Vepampoo Pachidi /Raw Mango Neem Flower Pachadi

A new year is born and the festivities include making some traditional food items to celebrate the new year. Apart from the traditional payasam and vadai, a manga pachadi with vepampoo is made to make us realize that life can be sweet, salty, spicy and bitter and we need to accept all in life. This recipe is super special to me because it was given to me last new year by a very special person. It is very important for me to have this documented and shared in my blog for everyone to prepare and enjoy.

                                         Happy( Jaya) New Year!
