With Ugadi around the corner, it is time to give your plate a festive makeover as you welcome the New Year.

Ugadi is the day that marks the New Year in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra (also known as Gudi Padwa) as well as some other parts of India as well. This is the day to celebrate new beginnings and the day typically begins with an oil bath followed by prayers and temple visits. The syllables “Yuga” (age) and “Adi” are combined to form the term “Ugadi” (beginning). Food of course is an integral part of the celebrations. While there are traditional items like the Ugadi Pachadi and the use of neem flowers that are a must, there is much more that you can do to cook up a storm.
