    Ugadi Pachadi or Bevu Bella Panakam is a festive drink that consists of 6 ingredients having 6 different tastes (sweet, sour, salt, spicy, pungent, and bitter). It symbolizes the ups and downs of life -  that one must accept all the flavors of experiences coming in this New Year.

    Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Ugadi. Stay safe!!

    Ugadi Pachadi or Bevu Bella Panakam is the first food that is consumed after offering it to God on Ugadi in form of naivedyam.

    I have already shared my first recipe (Mango Rice or Chitranna) for Ugadi 2021 and explained what Ugadi (Gudi Padwa) is. In short, it's a New Year for the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Goa.

    Here is my second recipe for Ugadi, the most popular and must-have during the Ugadi festival.

    What is Ugadi pachadi?

    It is a mixture of 6 tastes - sweet, sour, salt, spicy, bitter, and pungent which symbolizes that life is a mixture of anger, happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, and disgust or unpleasantness.

    Ingredients for Ugadi pachadi or 6 Tastes of Ugadi

    Jaggery - sweet taste comes from jaggery and it symbolizes joy and happiness.

    Tamarind - sour taste comes from tamarind and it symbolizes unpleasantness.

    Unripe or raw mangoes - astringent or pungent taste comes from raw mangoes which symbolizes surprise.

    Neem flowers - bitter taste comes from neem flower which symbolizes sadness.

    Pepper powder  - spicy, hot taste comes from pepper powder which symbolizes anger. 

    Salt - salty taste comes from salt which symbolizes unknown fear. 

    There is no proportion for this recipe. Adjust all the spices to your taste.

    Some tips and substitute to make Ugadi Pachadi
    • If you live outside India or if fresh neem flowers are unavailable where you stay, simply add dried neem leaves or any bitter-tasting ingredient like methi seeds (fenugreek) or methi powder.
    • If you don't prefer adding raw mango chunks, you can grind it and add it along with tamarind water.
    • Dry fruits, coconut chunks, and whole spices can be added to enhance the flavor of the drink if required.
    • Instead of soaking tamarind in hot water, you can even use tamarind pulp if desired.
