Six tastes to start the perfect Telugu New Year.

 
First of all a Very Happy ugadhi to all of you :). 
Now this is how i celebrated my Telugu New year. how was yours?. 
 Started the day with a bang climbing trees, plucking flowers like a monkey.!
people who are curious to know about ugadhi festival. Wiki Helps.
Coming to the Ugadhi Chutney. The eating of a specific mixture of six tastes called Ugadi Pachhadi) in Telugu language 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.
Since my festive mood is still on. It's going to be a real long week-end. 
Wish you One =). 
Any plans this week-end?


P.S : Ugadhi Chutney recipe over here.

I need some space.

There are so many things I need to do in my life, so much to travel, so much to capture, fall in love, enjoy cooking new recipes, all that and responsibilities. Time doesn't permit or the problem is I have to make time. make time for yourself this weekend. Have a sexy saturday! Wishing Happy Diwali  to each one of you =). xoxo (images by me.)

Now & then been thinking.

of the time spent on weekend. It was special and out and out fun.  Wish it bounces back soon by next Saturday , either way this week started full on hectic mood, busy , tension, frustration, ha...!! It Pissed me so bad that by accident instead of publishing the comments for the butter-nut squash recipe post , deleted them :(, dam pissed by me.  No idea, how could i recover them!!!. By the way Just wanted to say thank u for those who have taken out their time :) May be this is the reason for the bad mood. Any way I am hating today. xoxo (images by my bb9780)
