Tangy and Healthy Mango Ginger Pickle


Mango-ginger is neither related to mango nor ginger but to turmeric. It is a rhizome which is pale yellow inside and lighter colour outside.It combines the zing of ginger and the coolness of sweet, sour, raw mango.
 
Mango-ginger has excellent medicinal properties and finds extensive use in the indigenous system of medicine. It is an appetizer that aids digestion, a aphrodisiac as it stimulates blood circulation, an antipyretic as it cools down the body in case of a fever. It is also effecive against inflammation due to injures. It has been discovered in germany recently that people who have eaten mango ginger regularly have lost weight naturally.
 
This is a south indian delicacy with many variations. This version is the most basic and a wonderfull pickle to have with rice and rotis.

  • 250 gms mango ginger
  • 6-7 green chilles
  • 6 lemons medium size
  • 3/4 tbsp

In a preferably glass/plastic bowl squeeze the lemons, add the mango ginger and chillies with the salt and mix nicely.

Note: Dont cut the ginger too thin else it will loose it crucnhiness and if it is too thick it will take more time to pickle
