Neem Flower Pachadi (veepam poo)

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp Neem flower (fresh ones)
• 1 tsp Raw mango, finely chopped
• 4 tsp Grated jaggery
• 1/4 tsp Mustard seeds
• 1 tsp ghee
• 2 green chilly
• Salt to taste

Method:

• In a pan pour ghee and put mustard seeds.
• Then fry fresh Neem flowers.
• Then add green chilies and fry well.
• Now add chopped mango pieces.
• Add 1 to 1 1/2 cup water and allow the mango to cook.
• Add turmeric powder if you want.
• After mango pieces cook, add jaggery and mix well.
• Let it become thick.
• Remove from the fire and serve.
• We usually do this for Tamil New year.

Notes:

• In my house we love this pachadi.
• So I usually do bulk when we get mangos cheap.
• At that time I use to keep the mango pieces in cooker and cook.
• Then like above recipe make the pachadi.
• But if you make it thick, it will look like Jam.
• So you can keep it in the fridge and use as sweet and sour jam for bread or chappati.
