Ugadi festival is on the 8th of April,which is tommorow. Ugadi is a major festival in Andhra and Karnataka as it is considered as the start of a new year.On Ugadi day, we prepare 'Ugadi Pacchadi' which is a mix of all the basic tastes 'shadruchulu'. It is a mix of tamarind juice, salt, chopped raw mango, jaggery and neem flowers and is adjusted according to our taste buds.
We usually prepare either 'Holige (Obattu)' or 'Boorelu (Poornalu)' or 'Bele Kadubu' for Ugadi as the main sweet along with some kheer/payasam and other festival delicacies.At our place,the usual Ugadi menu comprises of Maavinkayi Chitranna ( Raw mango rice) ,stir fry, vada, sundal, Holige Saaru, Holige, Payasam and Rice.
I am trying to give various options for Ugadi menu in every category to make your planning easy.So please go through it and celebrate the festival with more fun and food.

WOW! EXCELLENT COMPILATION OF ALL UR ARTICLES APPROPRIATE TO THIS FESTIVAL IS LAUDABLE
Hi Prathibha,
Fan of your recipes here.Your write ups are equally beautiful.I have tried many of your recipes, we all loved them.My most favorite being Holige. Like you I grew up in Karnataka and Andhra. I moved to USA,after my wedding. Away from India, I missed many things. You know how food has associated memories, for me Holige reminded of happy times at my parents' home in Karnataka. Anyway, once I saw your recipe for holige, I tried it. They came out well, but the edges were brittle ( we call it pelusu in Telugu). It may be because my holige rolling skills are bad.I fail to evenly distribute poornam all the way to the edges, they remain bland and brittle. So my question is the brittleness - is it because of my poor rolling skills or because my Holige rawa is stale ( I keep it in freezer all the time, bought during my last trip to India a couple of years ago )Love, Sushmita
