    Maa inji thokku recipe, mango ginger thokku

    Updated on February 6, 2022 by Raks Anand 2 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Maa inji thokku, is an south Indian accompaniment made with mango ginger, a variety of ginger which has mango flavour, looks like ginger. Even if you hate ginger, you will love mango ginger.

    I love mango ginger and whenever I see in little India, I buy it and make the instant pickle version as it can be made in a jiffy, yet a burst of flavours.

    When my in-laws were here, I  wanted some homemade pickle in stock and kept making simple pickles, thokku as my FIL likes homemade pickles for his curd rice.

    I wanted to post but could not find time, so again bought and made this earlier and laying in drafts. I thought scheduling this post as I am going on a short vacation to Dubai 💃

    This thokku goes well with curd rice, rasam rice and idli, dosa, parathas too.

    How to make maa inji thokku

    1. First peel the mango ginger and clean. Pat dry and cut into rough pieces. Soak tamarind in hot water and extract thick pulp from it using less than ½ cup water.
