Spices for Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya is considered a day when anything started will not diminish, so many families buy gold, begin a business or cook a special meal. In Odisha farmers begin sowing, and in Jain communities sugarcane juice with ginger ends a year-long fast. Kitchens make sweets perfumed with cardamom, and in the south a sweet and sour raw mango pachadi appears, with turmeric, mustard seed and dried red chilli. The spice shelf is used with some ceremony because it is also the season when mangoes arrive.
