Recently i have been buying and using oranges a lot. I use their juice and throw away their skin. Suddenly i thought why not use their skin in a dish and create a pachadi or a relish. I have seen mom using citron in a pachadi which we call as narthangai pachadi. She chops the skin as well in that. I decided to treat the skins just like it and make a sweet, sour and spicy pachadi. When i made it and tasted it, it was delicious. So yummy.
