You can find this dish in their plates.  This serves as a pickle too. You can make this a ton and store it in fridge for a while. It stays good for a long time.

      Hello Aarthi.. thanks for sharing this recipe. I have a small doubt. Ginger and Green Chilli to be added as paste or chopped as you showed in picture. Thanks.

      Hi Aarti,

      When I tried it had the raw taste of ginger evident. My mom mentioned, that we have to wash the chopped ginger thoroughly and saute the ginger in oil for a pretty long time until the raw taste goes off. Probably this tip helps others who faced the same issue.
