ginger chutney recipe | allam pachadi | adrak chatni | allam chutney with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple chutney condiment recipe made with a dense quantity of ginger, chillies tamarind and jaggery. unlike the traditional chutney recipe, it is a concentrated extract and used more like a pickle and as a taste enhancer with a small serving quantity. it is generally served with breakfast meal like idli and dosa along with coconut chutney, but can also be served with dal rice or rasam rice combo.
chutney recipes have always been one of my favourite side condiments and i generally try to make an all-purpose chutney. while the coconut-based ones are my all-time favourite, but there are some special mentions to the veggie-based chutneys. out of this adrak chatni is special as it is quite different from other chutneys. it is a spice concentrated and hence has to be used in small portions like pickle. in addition, this chutney is generally served with idli and dosa in andhra, but for me, it is all-purpose chutney. there is no question about its use with idli and dosa, but it is just heaven when mixed with hot steamed rice. you may also use it as a taste enhancer with dal rice or even sambar rice, similar to the way any pickle is used.
furthermore, i would also like to mention some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the ginger chutney recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fresh and juicy ginger for this recipe. it would result in a flavoured and juicy chutney recipe but at that same time would infuse a lot of ginger flavour to the chutney. secondly, the chutney is generally made with concentrated flavours of spice, tamarind, sweetness and ginger flavour. the strong equal flavour of all these ingredients makes this unique and appetite. lastly, unlike other chutney recipes, allam pachadi has a longer shelf life. but it has to preserved very carefully. you need to store these in an airtight container, perhaps in the refrigerator.
