Ginger Chutney

Ginger Chutney, also known as “Inji Chutney” in South India, is a tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet condiment made from fresh ginger, tamarind, and a blend of aromatic spices. It is a versatile accompaniment that pairs wonderfully with dosas, idlis, or even rice. The chutney features the bold, zesty flavor of ginger, which is balanced with the tang of tamarind, along with seasonings such as red chili, mustard seeds, and curry leaves.

To make Ginger Chutney, fresh ginger is grated or chopped and sautéed with spices, then simmered with tamarind pulp, jaggery (or sugar), and a pinch of salt until the flavors meld together into a thick, aromatic paste. This chutney is known for its digestive benefits, as ginger is renowned for its soothing properties.

Ginger Chutney adds a delicious kick to any meal and is perfect for those who love bold and tangy flavors with a touch of sweetness.
