Ginger Chutney
About Ginger Chutney
My family is always allergic to the word “Ginger†when it comes alone. I never make dishes with ginger as a main ingredient, usually it common among tamilians off taking ginger juice once in a month, but I never prepare this. So this Ginger chutney was a wonder in my list. But I have tasted this Ginger chutney, from one of my aunty who cooks very well. Now as I read only this ginger chutney goes out well with this Pesarattu, I was about to prepare this. I have used less quantity of ginger and if you need you can increase half the amount ginger I have used.
Health benefits of Ginger:Ginger has a large use for relieving digestive problems such as nausea, loss of appetite, motion sickness and pain. Also studies have suggested that increasing consumption of plant foods like ginger decreases the risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and overall mortality while promoting a healthy complexion and hair, increased energy and overall lower weight.
