Ugadi pachadi is a chutney made for Ugadi that mixes flavors symbolizing various emotions. It typically combines tamarind (sour), neem (bitter), jaggery (sweet), mango (tangy), and chili pepper (fiery). It reflects the variety of emotions one might experience in the coming year. Celebrants take a bite of the ugadi pachadi, and the flavor they taste most strongly is said to be indicative of their year to come.
