Notes
- You can add finely chopped raw mangoes, but my mom usually grates them or pounds them to blend well in the pachadi.
- Use fresh neem flowers if you can source them.
- Instead of tamarind paste, you can also use a small piece of tamarind. Soak it in ¼ cup of water and extract the juice. Use that as the base liquid for the pachadi and add the other ingredients.
- Add water to taste. We have a very small amount and there is no set measure.
