Mango-Ginger (Mamidallam in Telugu) ..The very thought of it reminds me of so many recipes which Amma (my Mom) makes. Its smell and flavor are heavenly. It imparts a very unique taste to any recipe. It is neither related to Mango nor Ginger but surprisingly belongs to the turmeric family and is pale yellow inside with a lighter color outside. Also it has a sweet smell of unripe mango when crushed. It can be used in the preparation of chutney, pickles, preserve, candy, sauce and left to our imagination! This wonder rhizome has excellent medicinal properties and finds extensive use in Ayurveda. Thats a little intro about this under-exploited spice.

Ok, now coming to the pickle, the recipe has been passed on by my good friend Vijayalakshmi, who has been preparing this pickle for years now. Thanks to her we are enjoying another lip-smacking recipe using mango-ginger. Trust me, I am not exaggerating. Be sure to see a few more recipes using mango-ginger in this space ;)
