Medicines
needn't be always hard to make or swallow right ? We all know turmeric is
an excellent antisceptic, but obviously we cant swallow raw turmeric powder,
although indian cuisine uses turmeric powder extensively. But its in small
quantities, so making this chutney once in a while (may be fortnightly) would
increase the digestive power and also boost the anti bacterial power within the
body.
Today's post
is a quick to make chutney (and we LOVE chutneys at home :-)) with raw turmeric and ginger. Made with seasonally
available raw and fresh turmeric and mango ginger (Maa Inji / Maanga Inji) ,
this chutney is sure to perk up your breakfast to a new height. Although
there's no substitute for both these fresh ingredients, do use normal ginger
although the taste would vary vastly. We use the same combination for a lipsmacking pickle too
