 GINGER CHUTNEY RECIPE | STARTUP COOKING

Ginger chutney is a popular South Indian condiment for breakfasts. The main ingredients used to make this easy to make chutney are ginger, urad dal, bengal gram dal, red chillies, tamarind and jaggery. 

The flavor of ginger is perfectly balanced with sweetness of jaggery and tanginess from tamarind and spiciness from red chillies, finally its tempered with sesame oil based mustard seeds, urad dal, hing, curry leaves and crushed garlic.

In the Southern state of Andra Pradesh, Ginger chutney is also known as allam pachadi. This chutney is ideally had with idli, dosa, vada, pesarattu, uttapam, etc., 

Use tender and juicy ginger for best flavor. Do not fry the ginger for longer time as it will give a bitter taste. Just fry till the color starts to change to light golden. Sesame oil gives more flavor to the chutney so try to use sesame oil. You can also substitute with regular vegetable oil. 

Health Benefits: Ginger chutney is a great treatment for nausea and other digestive problems. It can also be used to treat muscle pain and respiratory problems. Eating ginger can cut down on fermentation, constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas. Ginger contains antioxidants. These molecules help manage free radicals, which are compounds that can damage cell when their numbers grow too high.
