Mango ginger is botanically neither related to Mango nor ginger family.
but Turmeric.The Rhizomes are pale yellow inside with lighter color
outside having the sweet s,ell of unripe mango when crushed.
After making pickles I have few of Maa Inji pieces left over.
So made a thokku with this flavorful ginger.
Ingredients
Maa Ingi - 100 gms
Tamarind paste - 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tblsp
Salt to taste
Mustard - 1/2 tsp
Gingely oil - 2 tblsp
Hing - a pinch
Fenugreek powder - 1/2 tsp
Method
- Remove the skin of Maa inji and wash thoroughly and allow it to dry.
- Cut into small pieces and grind it to a coarse paste.
- Heat oil in a kadai.Add mustard , hing and grinded ginger.
- Saute it well.
- Add chilli powder , tamarind salt and saute till the oil oozes out.
- In the end add Fenugreek powder.
It tastes great with Thayir sadam and Idlis and Dosas too

Love the thokku, are you now in India and is your hubby in Brussels.
hi,
My first visit to ur blog :) I am a big fan of pickles and tokkus. the combination of mango and ginger got me drooling :) shall make this in coming summer :)
Thanks

Last summer I made pickle but never posted the recipe :( Thokku sounds a great idea, but we don't get anymore here...
Wow, I am drooling at this. I used to live on this when in hostel. Curd rice and this thokku is my all time favorite. U can slice them up thinly, throw some chopped green chillies and a drizzle of lime juice. With little salt that makes an instant pickle. I like it that way too.
Lovelu thokku, kamala..how are you doing?
Maa Inji thokku brings back all the notalgic memories of my grandmother, to me...
Its nice to see your version here, It is blended...looks different to me, must be great with idlies and dosas too:)
