Tamil New year falls on 13 th or 14th of April every year. Here is the list of recipes we generally make on Tamil Varuda pirappu or Vishu . Click on the image to get Tamil New year recipes | Vishu recipes. You can follow the same recipes for Ugadi too | Telugu new year. 
We make a variety of recipes for the Tamil new year. It is mandatory to include all 6 tastes sweet, sour, spicy, salt, bitter, and astringent in our meal on this New year’s day. I have given a list of recipes under different categories. Plan your Tamil New year menu as per your family tradition and celebrate the New year. Traditionally we make Neem flower rasam, mango pachadi on this occasion. It is a must in all homes. These two dishes have all the 6 tastes of food. We do not add onion or garlic to the menu on festival days as we offer neivedyam for God.
