Inji curry / Sweet and sour ginger pickle

Onam is the National festival of Kerala.All the Keralites celebrate it with happiness.And this year I decided to post atleast one onam dish during the season.:)

Ginger is a  useful medicine in curing indigestion,cough and nausea etc.Ginger and honey is a super combo used to cure sour throat and cough.Amma ised to give ginger juice with salt whenever i used to complain about stomach ache during my childhood.Dry ginger is a main ingredient in herbal tea.Hope i will post that recipe once I reach my village :)

Inji curry is a hot and sour pickle made with ginger and green chillies .We cant avoid inji curry while serving Ona sadya. .My dad was an expert in inji curry preparation and he used to add more green chillies.Still I remember those Onam days I used to assist my Dad for pickle preparation.First lemon and mango then inji curry.Im also following the same method .Many variations of inji curry are available .In some area people ussed to add coconut in inji curry.Some used to add coriander powder too.People of Northern side of kerala call it as puli inji and they use ginger juice instead of  whole ginger.

Dates are rich in fibers, minerals and iron. I personally feel that it is better to eat dates as such instead of having it in syrup form. But there are some people who don't like eating dates at all but love dates syrup. This recipe is for them. 

Instant mango pickle

I'm a big fan of pickles and I always prefer to easy and simple methods for preparing them. Today i am sharing such a simple pickle recipe with you all. You won't be able to preserve it for longer periods like the normal pickles. Just a maximum of 4-5 days. Thats the shelf life of this pickle. That too only if you refrigerate it. ( I empty the pickle bottle within hours after preparing the pickle..so no tensions for me!!! :) )
