    Ginger is not a favorite for many, including me until I started to cook. I hated ginger so much until then. I see many people hate ginger, but somehow my taste for ginger changed. Now I love it in everything, be it in upma, lemon rice, tea, etc. So at times I crave for inji thogayal too.

    When I posted pesarattu, I thought I won't like allam pachadi as it is made with more ginger. So posted a ginger flavored coconut chutney to go with it. But I thought I should give it a try this morning when I made pesarattu for breakfast.

    With out any doubt, this is the best side dish for pesarattu. Taste wise as well as it helps with the digestion and prevent heart burn. I felt I missed making it for so long.

    It is pretty simple, similar to the inji thogayal me and my mami makes, except for jaggery and tadka. Do give it a try without being hesitant, if you are having a presumption like me.

    Goes well with

    Allam chutney also popularly known as allam pachadi, goes well with pesarattu without saying. But I recently had it with steamed rice, ghee/ sesame oil. It was really good. Since I was mixing with rice, I added an extra pinch of salt to balance.

    Top Tip

    Serving suggestions: Allam chutney is perfect match for pesarattu. But it goes well with idli, dosa and upma too.

    Storage instruction: It is best when served fresh. But you can refrigerate upto 3 days and consume.

    Summary

    Roast chilli, black gram, tamarind and ginger in oil. Grind to a paste with salt and jaggery. Temper with mustard and curry leaves.
