Ugadi, the Telugu New Year, is a time of celebration with family and friends. This year, Ugadi falls on April 6, 2017. As with any festival, Ugadi celebrations involve a lot of food. Here are a few Ugadi Recipes that will help you celebrate the festival with fun and fervour.
Some Ugadi Recipes to Enjoy with Your Family
- Ugadi Pachadi. All celebrations of Ugadi begin with the Ugadi Pachadi. Ugadi Pachadi is an amagamation of six tastes found in nature; sweet, sour, tangy, spicy, bitter, and salty. The six tastes (shadruchulu) represent the various experiences we have in life, and having Ugadi Pachadi reminds us that we should face life with equanimity.
- Pulihora. Tangy rice that is a must for all festivities in Andhra. Here are a few different ways in which you can make it:

Wonderful post Aruna! I hope to try atleast a few recipes..Maharashtrians also make a chutney where all the tastes are blended; but bitter taste predominates with the use of neem in the chutney..
Hi Nitali! Would love to read about the Maharashtrian Version of the chutney. Some in Andhra grind all the ingredients also, but we do not at home.
My Mom being a mom would try to keep the neem flowers from reaching us. 🙂
I will definitely try to post it sometime..The chutney basically has tamarind juice jaggery, chilli powder, salt, neem leaves and flowers (not crushed) and cumin..We do not grind too, else it becomes way too bitter..and the idea is the same as you wrote about..Balance in taste and balance in life 🙂
Happy Ugadi in advance Aruna……last year we celebrated this festival with a Telugu couple in Netherlands and of course tasted Ugadi Pachadi….. It was nice in taste…..I like the way you explained the significance about it…….really we have to taste all these flavours in our life…..can’t skip a single one……I am also excited to try all your rice recipes…….. 🙂
Thank you, Jayeeta. 🙂
I cannot live without rice.
