I love maa inji a lot. Basically I love ginger based recipes like ginger pachadi,Puli inji(kerala style) very much. So this mango ginger is no exception. Actually I wanted to post maa inji thokku, but before that I thought of sharing this simple & easy maa inji pickle, my MIL’s version. I tried two different methods and shared the same.Try whichever u like.Both can be made easily with simple ingredients.Its a great accompaniment for curd rice and dal rice.
