A TOUNGE TICKLING MANGO GINGER PICKLE | MAA INJI URUGAI

        I don’t like ginger at all, except Mango ginger/Maa inji. I tasted them only once and was amazed by its taste. No smell of ginger at all,not even 1%. It was tasting like mango,only that its crunchiness,texture was like ginger! I never got a chance to make this maa inji uruguai before. Last weekend got this pack of mango ginger in Mustafa and without second thought bought it. My hubby asked to make pickle out of it,so called my mom to get the recipe. It was very very simple.

MANGO GINGER PICKLE

 

Ingredients:

Mango ginger/maa inji Chopped,1 cup
Lemon 1
Green chillies 5-6
Salt 1 – 1/4 tsp(adjust as per taste)

MANGO GINGER

To Temper

Sesame oil/nallennai 2 tsp
Mustard 3/4 tsp
Asafoetida(optional) 1/4 tsp


A-MANGO GINGER PICKLE
Method:
  1. Peel the skin of the ginger using a peeler,wash it and pat dry.
    peeled and washed
  2. Chop it according to your wish,my mom slices into circles,easier way…but I chopped them finely…so its your choice.
    Chopped
  3. Take this in a bowl and squeeze the lemon and add salt and chopped green chillies. Mix well.
    Add lemon juice and green chilli, salt
  4. Season with the items given under ‘To temper’ table,mix well and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Use after a day or two.
    Season
Enjoy with curd rice…!
மா இஞ்ஜி ஊருகாய்
Notes:

  • The pickle tend to leave water after we add salt.
  • You can add fresh green pepper instead of green chillies like here.Since green pepper will be very hot(spicy)add more lemon juice and salt accordingly.
  • You can add finely chopped capsicum also in this same recipe.Also try adding all the veggies like carrot,cabbage,cucumber to make vegetable pickle.

The way you cut it makes it appear as mango cubes and my mouth is watering. BTW, how longer this stays fresh?
We prepare it in a different way to store it for longer.

Aruna Manikandan said...

Laavanya said...

i adore the flavour of maa-inji - i think it's a winning combination. Our favorite pickle is the ruchi brand mango ginger pickle.. I don't find maa-inji here or I could've tried your version.

Plateful said...

I love mangoes- raw or ripe. I love pickles. Need I say more? Oh yeah, that last picture makes me yearn for some raw mangoes to go make this simple yet tounge-tickling recipe. Bookmarked!
