Allam chutney is a popular chutney variety from Andhra. Allam means ginger in Telugu & chutney is a condiment.  Andhra-style vegan chutney recipe is slightly sweet, tangy, spicy & hot.

Ginger pachadi recipe

Ginger is good for digestion. Generally, ginger chutney is paired with Andhra-style pesarattu. Moong bean might cause gastric problems so ginger chutney is usually paired with it. Tamarind, red chillies, jaggery, and other spices balance the pungency of ginger. This ginger chutney | Allam pachadi has a sweet-sour-spicy taste. It also goes very well as a side dish with idli, dosa, adai, Dibba roti, etc. In our home, we even like to mix it with rice like thogayal, and also tastes best with curd rice/ semiya bagala bath.

What type of ginger should I use for allam chutney?

Allam pachadi tastes best with fresh and tender ginger. Always avoid ginger which is fibrous, Ripe, or mature as it can make the chutney taste bitter.

Why ginger shouldn’t be sauteed long time?

For Allam chutney, ginger should be sauteed for less time. Overcooking the ginger will make the chutney bitter. Avoid browning the ginger

Do I need this much jaggery for the Allam chutney?

The sweetness from jaggery balances out the pungent flavor of ginger. I would highly recommend the specified quality for the best taste. If you want to cut the sweetener add 1 tbsp but not less. Palm sugar or coconut sugar or brown sugar or unrefined cane sugar or regular sugar can also be used

The shelf life of ginger chutney?

Chutney stays good for 2-3 days in room temperature but stays longer in the fridge. If you use an airtight container and use a fresh clean spoon it stays good for around 5 days in the fridge.

Is tempering must for allam chutney?

You can skip tempering. I personally like the flavor of the tempering hence I always do for all my chutneys except white thenga chutney

Which oil should I use for allam chutney?

I generally use sesame oil for tamarind-based recipes. You can use peanut oil or any neutral-tasting oil.

Ginger pachadi for winter

During monsoon and winter, it is good to consume allam chutney as it keeps the body warm.
