Ginger Relish
June 26th, 2008 filed under Chutneys / Pickles, VeganGinger 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
- Cut the green chilies lengthwise (remove the seeds if you like mild).

- Mix ginger, chili, salt and lemon juice together and store in glass jar.
- Before serving refrigerate the relish for 24 hours.
- 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.
Variations
Thinly slice the green chilies and ginger about 1 inch lengthwise and mix with salt and lemon juice.
Serving suggestions

hi i am experiementing with vegitarian cooking and i foune a recipe for spiced chick pea burgers… it calls for indian relish or pickle is there a substitute if i cant find it in stores?
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.

Hello Jaya,
Yes I am from U.P.
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?
