Ugadi is on 31st March 2014. On the special Occasion of Ugadi, a special dish will be made which is called Ugadi Pachadi in Telugu and Bevu Bella in Kannada which is a mixture of 6 tastes. This dish symbolizes the fact that life is a mixture of different experiences (sadness, happiness, anger, fear, disgust, surprise), which should be accepted together and with equanimity through the New Year. The special mixture consists of: • Neem Buds/Flowers for its bitterness, signifying Sadness • Jaggery and ripe banana pieces for sweetness, signifying Happiness • Green Chilli/Pepper for its hot taste, signifying Anger • Salt for saltiness, signifying Fear • Tamarind Juice for its sourness, signifying Disgust • Unripened Mango for its tang, signifying Surprise Ingredients: Tamarind 1 small lemon size Raw baby mango(Vadu Mangai) 2 Salt To Taste Neem Flowers 1 tablespoon Grated Jaggery 1/2 Cup Green Chillies 2 Chopped Coconut Pieces 2 teaspoon(Optional) Method: 1.
