Ugadi Pachadi, how to prepare ugadi pachadi for Andhra Ugadi festival

"Sarvari nama samvastara Ugadi shubakankshalu" to all friends and family. Ugadi is famous festival in Andhra, Telangana and Karnataka States. "Ugadi Pachadi" Contains shadruchulu, six different tastes. Ugadi Pachadi  resembles the meaning of life like shadruchulu. To prepare this ugadi pachadi drink we mainly use 6 ingredients - raw mango, tamarind, jaggery, neem buds/flowers, green chilli/pepper, salt. These six ingredients signifies the six emotions of our life. 
* Raw Mango - Surprise
* Neem buds/flowers - Sadness
* Jaggery - Happy
* Tamarind - Disgust
* Green chilli - anger
* Salt - Fear

Life is combination of all these emotions, when all our emotions are controlled we will get success in life 😍. 


   The taste of Ugadi pachadi is different in different regions and houses. But the importance of Shadruchulu is same everywhere. Ugadi festival is considered as the new year for Telugu and Karnataka people. Telugu calendar / panchagam for new  year starts from ugadi, ugadi is the starting of vasantha ruthuvu / spring season. We will get many varieties of Mango fruits, which is our king of Fruits in India. For Ugadi we prepare food items like Mamidikaya papu/Mango dal, mango rice / mamidikaya pulihora,Mamidikaya pachadi/Mango pickle, boorelu, garelu and many more and ugadi pachadi is compulsory.
