MANGO GINGER THOKKU

Mango Ginger Thokku is an aromatic and delicious pickle variety with mango ginger.Mango Ginger is neither related to mango nor ginger but to turmeric.It is a rhizome which gives a sweet smell of unripened mango when crushed.It tastes and smells predominantly of ginger with a faint taste of mango.Usually I have bought pickle from the grocery with this mango ginger but have never attempted to try.Last month when i had gone to purchase my weekly groceries,I saw the market loaded with these mango ginger and was tempted to try this out.A little bit of this aids digestion.cures asthma,bronchitis,cough etc.

I have two thokku variety pickles in my blog.One is gooseberry thokku and the other is mango thokku.I also learnt later that you can make a wide range of side dishes from mango ginger like chutneys,sorbet and even mousse.The list would be endless.As a blogger I try out new recipes and add them up t my blog and share with you all.This turned out to be a great hit at home and I had to make a second batch for the demanding bellies.You can also try another version of simpling chopping these and mixing with salt,chilles and lime juice.Tastes divine.
