Ingredients
Ginger Pickle Ingredients
- 500 gm Ginger
- 1 Tamarind lemon-sized ball
- 6 Tbsp Jaggery
- 4 Tbsp Salt
- 5 Tbsp Chili Powder red
- 150 ml Sesame Oil
For Tempering
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 2 tsp Split Chickpea split chickpeas
- 2 Chillies dried, red
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and peel the ginger. Cut into small pieces.
- Soak the tamarind in 50 ml of boiling water. Allow to cool completely. This softens the tamarind and makes it easier to extract the pulp.
- In a blender, combine the ginger, jaggery, salt, red chili powder, and the soaked tamarind (without the water). Blend into a smooth paste.
- Add the tamarind water to the blender and blend again until completely smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok or pan. Add the mustard seeds, chana dal, and dried red chilies. Sauté until the chana dal turns reddish-brown and the mustard seeds pop. This tempering process infuses the oil with flavor.
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger mixture in the bowl. Mix well.
- Once the pickle has cooled, transfer it to a sterilized glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for several months.
- Enjoy this Allam Pachadi with rice, rotis, idli, dosa, or pesarattu.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- Adjust the amount of chili to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more gradually.
- For a smoother pachadi, blend the ingredients after cooking instead of mashing them.
- Adding a pinch of jaggery or sugar can balance the tartness of the tamarind or other sour ingredients.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover pachadi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
