Narthangai Pachadi – Citron pachadi – Citron in Chilli and Jaggery sauce – Side dish recipe

During my childhood my great grand ma makes this pachadi. I wanted to try this for quite sometime.. However whenever I asked for Narthangai my mum makes pickle / pachadi itself and sends it.. So I never got a chance to make a post in this blog. This time when my sister visited me I told her to get Narthangai itself. So finally I can make it and do stepwise pictures. So do try it out and enjoy
