I never tasted Mango Pachadi until I had from Malathi Aunty. She makes this mango pachadi during mango season and ofcourse in summer. Our two families were in the same building and the good thing is there were only we two. That was an independant villa which has two houses. Maybe that's the reason we all moved well with each other. Whatever she makes we were the first people to get it :-) She was a Medical Officer in Trichy and a Gynaecologist too. During her busy schedule she never left her family behind. I never seen any outside cook to make food for her family. The way she maintained the relationship with the kids and the respect towards other...Aunty...you are awesome...I am glad to mention about her in my post. It's been 11 years of relationship and it is growing green :-) Love you Aunty...It's so precious to talk about you here and I am waiting to taste your food :-) This was her evergreen recipe which I learnt from her and only variation is I add coconut paste and she doesn't . It's very good for this summer as well it is the must recipe for Tamil New year.
