Ginger Relish

Ginger relish is very handy to have in your refrigerator for spicing up many different dishes.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped ginger
  • 4 green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

  1. Cut the green chilies lengthwise (remove the seeds if you like mild).
  2. Chop the green chilies to match the size of the chopped ginger.
  3. Mix ginger, chili, salt and lemon juice together and store in glass jar.
  4. Before serving refrigerate the relish for 24 hours.
  5. Relish can be refrigerated for about 2 weeks. Note: after a couple of days the green chilies will fade in color and will become milder in taste.

      If you can’t find it, use ketchup. You didn’t say where you are living so I don’t know what else may be available in your country.

    Dear Manjula Aunty,
    I just found this new addition. My mother in law makes this IDENTICAL relish. I had forgotten about it until I saw this. She cuts her chili and ginger lengthwise like matchsticks, but otherwise it is the same.
    Are you from U.P. by chance?
