Immunity Booster: Mango-Ginger Alè

Mango-Ginger: It neither belongs to the mango family nor the typical ginger one It’s scientific name is something different too: it’s called as the CURCUMA AMADA… It actually belongs to a clan of the ginger family that’s termed as the ‘Zingiberaceae’: Which’s closely related to the turmeric family… It looks alike any normal typical ginger but the very sharpness or pungency of its smell & tastes differ than the original ginger which’s quite lesser & balanced, rather it gives us a raw Mango flavours to it ! These are mostly & primarily used in preparing pickles in the South India & chutneys in the North & Western/Eastern parts of our country.
