Allam Pachadi

My husband is a great lover of Andhra foods .
When we visited our friend's home who is
a Andhraite he tasted this and loved so much.
My friend is kind enough to share the recipe from her
mom and allows me to use in the blog too.
Ingredients
Ginger - 250 gm
Tamarind - 1/2 kg
Jaggery - 300 gms
Chilli powder - 1 cup
Salt - 1 cup
Whole jeera - 25 gms
Methi seeds - 25 gms
Garlic - 100 gms
Oil - 1/2 - 3/4 kg
Method
  • Peel the ginger skin and wash and allow it to dry in a cloth.
  • Heat tamarind with little bit of water in a medium flame for 5 min.
  • Powder jeera and methi.
  • Grind ginger,soaked tamarind,chilli powder ,salt and garlic.
  • Add jeera and methi powder.
  • In the end add jaggery.
  • Keep the mixture aside.
  • Heat oil in a kadai.
  • Add mustard and channa dal.
  • Once it splutters switch off the flame.
  • Allow it to cool completely.
