Orange- Peel -Pachadi

Orange peel pachadi is a traditional and authentic dish made at home . I have heard from my mom that my gradmother(father’s mom) makes this so well and she makes for my mom when she was pregnant with my sister. I have not made this or had this as i don’t like it much. During my recent trip to India, I saw my mom peeling oranges and when i asked her she told me that she is going to make the pachadi. I immediately took my camera and clicked the entire process . Though i don’t like it much during my childhood days, i liked it this time along with Vathal kuzhambhu rice. 
The pictures didn’t turn out well as the sunlight was bit harsh and i don’t have much time to wait and click.
