Orange peels are an excellent source of Vitamin C and have many
medicinal properties. . So I prepared this recipe by using the skin of orange.
. the main ingredient here is the peels of an orange. The unique combination of
orange and tamarind gives such a nice flavor to this pachadi. The bitterness of
the peels, the tanginess of the tamarind, the spiciness of the chillies and the

taste.It goes well with curd rice, chapathi, idli& dosa.
