Mamidi Allam Mukkalu! The very term makes my mouth water. Mamidi Allam (also known as Manga Inji or Mango Ginger) is a special type of ginger that has the aroma of raw mangoes/unripe mangoes.
Mango Ginger is available in plenty in winter as are lemons. The simplest way to enjoy it is to pickle it for a day or two in lemon juice with some green chilly pieces. The result is a tangy, spicy pickle that is a phenomenal side dish for Majjiga Annam (Curd Rice/Thayir sadam) or Mudda Pappu Annam (Plain Boiled Tuvar Dal and Rice).
I first posted this recipe in March 2016. Been almost years; how time flies!
