Mangai Inji has always been a favorite pickle in my family for more than 4 generations...
I have my own doubts whether it is a pickle or a salad which is a very good digestive aid too...
This is not usually available off the shelf....
And the best part is...it is absolutely oil free...
The English name of Mangai Inji is Mango Ginger and its botanical name is Curcuma Amada.
It is a rhizome like the ginger root and also looks like one. But has a mild smell of mango and has a mild hot and sour taste too...
It is absolutely hassle free to prepare this stuff as it is ready in a few minutes...

ஆஹா, மாங்கா இஞ்சி ..... எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்தமானது. படத்தில் பார்த்தாலே நாக்கில் நீர் ஊறுகிறது. பகிர்வுக்கு நன்றிகள்.
