Ginger Chutney is Spicy, tangy, Sweet chutney recipe that is served as a dip with breakfast items like idli and dosa or with snacks items like egg paniyaram/Egg Bites. Ginger is good for digestion. I prefer serving this chutney with a heavy meal. This recipe tastes best when made with fresh and tender ginger. Fibrous or mature ginger might not taste good for this recipe.
Ginger has many medicinal properties and is good to use during monsoon and winter. Ginger helps in good relief from cold and congestion, relieves nausea, loss of appetite.
