Mango ginger pickle recipe | Quick maa inji oorugai

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.



Ingredients:

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

To Temper

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

Method:

1. Peel the skin of the ginger using a peeler,wash it and pat dry.
2. Chop it according to your wish,my mom slices into circles,easier way…but I chopped them finely…so its your choice.
3. Take this in a bowl and squeeze the lemon and add salt and chopped green chillies. Mix well.
