    What is Mamidikaya Pesara Pachadi?

    Mamidikaya pesara pachadi is a delicious Andhra-style chutney made with raw mangoes / green mangoes, moong dal, dried red chilies and spices. It is usually prepared during the mango season when the green mangoes are fresh and sour.

    The chutney has a slightly coarse texture, which is typical for many Andhra "roti pachadi" varieties. Instead of grinding everything into a smooth paste, grind until you get a coarse paste that resembles the traditional roti pachadi (chutney made using a mortar and pestle).

    It is most commonly served with hot steamed rice and a drizzle of ghee.

    Why you'll love this recipe:

    • This recipe uses basic ingredients that are easy to find.
    • Comes together quickly.
    • Pairs perfectly with rice and ghee.
    • Also works well with dosa or idli.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    Moong Dal - Also known as split yellow mung lentils. You can replace it with toor dal or masoor dal. You can find it in any Indian store or Asian store.

    Raw Mango - Use a fresh, firm and sour green mango or raw mango for the best flavor and taste.

    Dried Red Chilies - These add the heat to the chutney. If you don't have them in hand, replace with red chili powder. You don't need to roast the chili powder if using.

    Spices - You will need mustard seeds and hing for tempering and cumin seeds to grind along with the lentils and mango.

    Urad Dal - You will need urad dal for seasoning. These lentils will add a crunch to the chutney. You can omit them if you want.

    Curry Leaves - Use fresh curry leaves if possible. They will add the freshness and authentic South Indian flavor. Dried curry leaves, or frozen curry leaves would work too.

    Oil - You can use any of your favorite oils. Traditionally, we use peanut oil, sunflower oil, or sesame oil.

    A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

    How to make Mamidikaya Pesara Pachadi

    Add a teaspoon of oil in a pan on a low flame. Add the moong dal and roast, stirring continuously. When the lentils are golden brown, add the cumin seeds and roast for a few seconds until aromatic.

    Transfer the roasted moong dal to a plate and set aside to cool.

    In the same pan, add and roast the red chilies for a few seconds. Let them cool completely.

    Once all the roasted ingredients are cooled, transfer them to a mixer jar. Pulse and grind to a coarse powder.

    Add the chopped raw mango pieces and the required salt to the jar. Add a little water and grind it to a coarse paste. Do not make it too smooth.

    Remove the chutney to a serving bowl.

    To prepare the tempering, heat the oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds and urad dal. Let them splutter and lightly golden. Add the curry leaves, hing and dried red chili and fry for a couple of seconds.

    Pour the tempering over the chutney and mix well.

    Serve with hot steamed rice and ghee.

    Tips & Notes:

    • Roast the lentils on a low flame. This helps it cook evenly without burning.
    • Let everything cool before grinding.
    • Don't add too much water. Add more water if needed as you go.
    • Taste the mango before adding to check the sourness level. Increase or reduce the quantity as needed.
    • Adjust the quantity of red chilies as per your preference.
    • You can also add a clove of garlic while grinding for a different flavor.

    Serving suggestions

    Serve this chutney with hot steamed rice and a drizzle of ghee on top. This is the most traditional and best way to enjoy the chutney.

    It can also be served with idli or dosa as a side.

    You can serve it along with other Andhra-style staples like Tomato Pappu, Gutti Vankaya Koora Podi, Gongura Pulusu Koora and Potlakaya Perugu Pachadi.

    Storage suggestions

    Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    If it thickens after refrigeration, add a little water and mix before serving.

    Arbi Ka Saag Recipe - Rajasthani Style Taro Root Fry

    June 7, 2014

    Crispy and flavorful fry using arbi or taro root and spices. An authentic Rajasthani dish for rice.

    rajasthani fried taro root coated with spices served in a black bowl along with rice

    What is Arbi Ka Saag?

    Arbi Ka Saag is a Rajasthani style taro root or colocasia dish. It is a simple and crispy fry made with boiled arbi and spices. There are other variations of arbi fry which I usually make. But this dish is a different one with authentic flavors and one of the easy arbi recipes.  The texture of the dish is crispy outside and soft inside. I have adapted the traditional recipe from Rajasthani Cookbook.

    If you don't want to deep fry the vegetable, you can shallow fry them until they are a golden brown color and crispy. Also, do not skip the spices as they give the authentic taste and flavor.

    Is Arbi Saag Vegan?

    Yes, it is a vegan recipe.

    What goes well with Arbi Fry?

    It can be served as a starter or side dish with hot steamed rice.

    Kesar Mango Lassi Recipe - Indian Mango Drink with Saffron

    June 2, 2014

    Kesar Mango Lassi Recipe - Creamy, rich and refreshing traditional Indian sweet drink made with yogurt, mangoes, cardamom, saffron and nuts.

    three glasses of Indian sweet drink topped with pistachios and saffron.

    What is Kesar Mango Lassi?

    Mango lassi is a traditional sweet drink made in Indian and Pakistan. It is made with fresh and thick yogurt, fresh mango and is flavored with cardamom and saffron. The consistency of the Indian mango lassi is very similar to a smoothie. It is one of the world's popular Indian recipes.

    We make so many Indian mango dishes when they are in season. Please check the below recipes if you need some of them.

    Mango Recipes:

    • Aamras
    • Ambe Rasayana
    • Eggless Mango Cake
    • Mango Mastani
    • Ambyache Shikran
    • Mango Cardamom Jam

    You can also make this lassi into popsicles, check my Mango Lassi Popsicles Recipe.

    Can I use canned mango pulp instead of fresh mangos?

    You can use store-bought mango pulp in this recipe. Just use ½ cup of pulp instead of 1 cup of fresh mango cubes.

    How to Make Vegan Mango Lassi?

    Just replace the yogurt with any plant-based yogurt like almond milk yogurt or soy yogurt. Also, replace milk with a tablespoon of hot water to soak the saffron.

    Serving Suggestions:

    I love it when it is served on hot summer afternoons. It can also be served as a dessert, snack or breakfast.
