Hi all... Today it's a double update dhamaaka in the blog, as it's Ugadi - Telugu New year!! 😁 we do not celebrate ugadi in our house though we speak Telugu!! But When my maid brought me neem flowers thinking we would celebrate ugadi , i wanted to try it. I quickly noted the recipe from my neighbor and made it with the available items at home. It turned out really delicious. 😋😋 Ugadi pachadi has six flavours that includes sweet, sour, salt, astringent, pungent and bitter depicting that one has to accept happiness, disgust, fear, surprise, anger and sorrow equally in one's life.
Here is the recipe to rejoice the new year. 😃
