Mango Ginger Pickle

And I am back with another easy peasy Mango Ginger Pickle which goes well with roti or curd rice. Dikhawe pe mat jao as this rhizome has an uncanny resemblance to regular ginger but this is a country cousin of turmeric and tastes a lot like raw mango.I am making the most of my Mango ginger harvest and stored pickles. I have even gifted it to family and friends who were already on a waiting list. So you can imagine how coveted this precious loot from my garden can be.

This is the easiest pickle you might have seen so do try it. Just peel the ginger wash and cut into roundels and a simple tempering is all it needs.
