I will share the recipes one by one...

This recipe is from my MIL's mil.I never miss it for every tamil new year...The pachadi is mix of sweet(jaggery),tangy(mango),spicy(chilli powder) and the bitter(neem flower) taste

Sweet and Spicy Mango Pachadi

Kili Mooku Raw Mango -1

Jaggery-3/4 cup

Chilli powder-half tsp

Neem flower-5-6

No need of salt

Method

1.Peel the skin of the raw mango and slice the mango 

2.Boil a cup of water and add the mango slices,seed and let it cook for 3-4 minutes

3.Crush the jaggery and add it to mango

4.Once the jaggery is dissolved,add the chilli powder and sprinkle the neem flower before serving

The actual recipe needs 2 chopped green chillies and a tsp of neem flowers....But I substituted with chilli powder and very less neem flower...U can try in both the ways too..
