Inji Chutney, also called as Allam Pachadi is flavor packed chutney made using fresh ginger roots. Similar to conventional chutney, we need to fry urad dal, bengal gram, red chili, fenugreek and then ginger. All of the fried ingredients are then ground to a smooth paste along with tamarind and jaggery. The flavor of ginger is perfectly balanced with sweetness of jaggery, tanginess from tamarind and spice from chili, finally enriched with sesame oil based mustard and curry leaves tempering.  This Allam chutney is usually served as an accompaniment to Pesarattu but this also go well with Idli and Dosa.

Variations in making Ginger Chutney:

  • In addition to ginger, we can sauté onions and tomato and grind it together.
  • We can also add coriander seeds along with other frying ingredients like chana dal, urad dal, fenugreek and red chili.
  • Adding jaggery is optional but it will balance and enhance the spice and tanginess of the chutney.
  • We can also include 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds along with other grinding ingredients.
  • We can cook the ground chutney till the oil separates and then store in air-tight container for more shelf life.

Tips for making Ginger Chutney:

  • Use tender and juicy  ginger for best flavor.
  • Do not fry ginger for longer time as it will give a bitter taste. Just fry till the color starts to change to light golden.
  • Adjust the spice level as per you needs. Adding kashmiri chili is optional but it gives a nice orange color with less spice. But if you love spice, you can substitute with more regular red chili.
  • Sesame oil gives more flavor to chutney so try to use sesame oil. If you don’t have, you can use regular cooking oil.
  • Taste the chutney and adjust the tamarind and jaggery while grinding.
