Ugadi is being celebrated on the 31st of March this year. Ugadi is considered as the start of a new year and among the few key festivals that we celebrate every year. While the preparation of 'Ugadi Pacchadi', a mix of jaggery, salt, chopped raw mango, tamarind juice, chilli and neem flower, essentially 6 key flavours is a must, we also prepare an elaborate menu on this day. The preparations for that have already started, so I thought I will highlight a few options for Ugadi Menu spread across various categories.
Check here to find out how to make Ugadi Pacchadi for Ugadi.
