Mamidipappu pesarapappu pachadi is a classic culinary delight of Andhra. Telugu speaking folks love pachadis, period.

A healthy, rustic chutney that’s rich in protein, Vitamin C, antioxidants, and nutrients. It is aesthetically delightful with a gorgeous orange color, texture and flavor.

Less is more here. Minimal spices yet high on flavor. It is amazing how three to four ingredients can combine together to bring out an eclectic flavor. Dry roasted yellow moong dal, cumin, and red chilies are ground to a coarse paste along with peeled raw mango and jaggery. The sour mangoes, the sweetness of jaggery, the earthiness of lentils and the heat from the chilies merge to create enticing flavors. The sour, spicy and subtle sweet tones of the chutney make it addictive. Roasting of moong dal is the only time-consuming part but is essential for the enhancement of flavor. The tempering of mustard seeds, split urad dal, asafoetida, and fresh curry leaves lend a sizzling touch to the vegan chutney. A quick green mango chutney that makes for a delicious and spicy accompaniment to rice with a dollop of ghee and sliced onions. It will also work like a dip similar to hummus.
