ALLAM PACHADI II GINGER CHUTNEY II ANDHRA SPECIAL

 Allam means ginger/adrak.  A spicy pickle made out of this goes well with idly, dosa, adai and even with rice, ghee or sesame oil.  This is an Andhra delicacy.  Since for quite some time, I wanted to try this and could do it only yesterday.

 It is made with peeling and crushing ginger and mixing with the tamarind pulp and fried Urid dal, Red chilli, Curry leaves etc.

Let us look at the recipe now:

 

 

RAW TAMARIND CHUTNEY, PACHA PULI CHUTNEY

Raw tamarind chutney was in my list for a longer period and was waiting for the raw tamarind in the market.  When my co-sister went to market, she bought the same for me. I was happy that I got this as it is very difficult for me to get the same where I live.

This chutney I tasted when I was in the school and after leaving my native place at the age of 18, I never got the opportunity to prepare this chutney.

I was so thrilled when I saw the raw tamarind and made the chutney which I am sharing with you.  We can make the chutney in different ways, but the one which I made yesterday is shared with you now.
