INJI (GINGER) THUVAIYAL

Inji Thuvaiyal - This is a special side dish served along with Sodi Kuzhambu . A very traditional recipe of Thirunelveli :)

This combination is served during the 3rd day of saiva pillai marraige (maru vitu sappadu).

During marraige undoubtedly , our stomach gets upset,as ginger is good for digestion and hence this is a must in all the thirunelveli marraiges :)

For this thuvaiyal you need

A handful of ginger(peeled and chopped into small pieces)

• 4 tbsp. of grated coconut
• Marble sized tamarind
• 5 nos. of red chillies
• Salt
• Oil

Preparation

Heat oil in a pan. saute the ginger until it turns brown.

Fry the red chillies, coconut and tamarind seperately.

Allow it to cool and grind along with salt and very little water.

Serve it with Sodi Kuzhambu or with thick curd rice ......

NOTE :If you add more water then it becomes chutney :) so be careful while you add water
