I don’t like ginger at all, except Mango ginger/Maa inji. I tasted them only once and was amazed by its taste. No smell of ginger at all,not even 1%. It was tasting like mango,only that its crunchiness,texture was like ginger! I never got a chance to make this maa inji uruguai before. Last weekend got this pack of mango ginger in Mustafa and without second thought bought it. My hubby asked to make pickle out of it,so called my mom to get the recipe. It was very very simple.
Ingredients:
| Mango ginger/maa inji | Chopped,1 cup |
| Lemon | 1 |
| Green chillies | 5-6 |
| Salt | 1 – 1/4 tsp(adjust as per taste) |
To Temper
| Sesame oil/nallennai | 2 tsp |
| Mustard | 3/4 tsp |
| Asafoetida(optional) | 1/4 tsp |
Method:
- Peel the skin of the ginger using a peeler,wash it and pat dry.
- Chop it according to your wish,my mom slices into circles,easier way…but I chopped them finely…so its your choice.
- Take this in a bowl and squeeze the lemon and add salt and chopped green chillies. Mix well.
- Season with the items given under ‘To temper’ table,mix well and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Use after a day or two.
- The pickle tend to leave water after we add salt.
- You can add finely chopped capsicum also in this same recipe.Also try adding all the veggies like carrot,cabbage,cucumber to make vegetable pickle.

April 14, 2011 at 1:56 pmThe way you cut it makes it appear as mango cubes and my mouth is watering. BTW, how longer this stays fresh?
We prepare it in a different way to store it for longer.

April 16, 2011 at 7:11 pmi adore the flavour of maa-inji – i think it's a winning combination. Our favorite pickle is the ruchi brand mango ginger pickle.. I don't find maa-inji here or I could've tried your version.

April 19, 2011 at 11:19 amI love mangoes- raw or ripe. I love pickles. Need I say more? Oh yeah, that last picture makes me yearn for some raw mangoes to go make this simple yet tounge-tickling recipe. Bookmarked!
