    For me, and a lot of other people, I tend to own a grater that is both easy to clean and cheap. I’ve usually dealt with the standard 4-sided “cowbell” grater, but I have a soft spot for the box set. Sure, it is a bit more hectic to store, but it’s very simple to clean. Plus, you can see where the shreds go without having to worry about spilling over a tower of cheese that lies underneath.

    A lot of your recipes use green chilies. What kind of green pepper do you mean? My grocery has Mexican chili peppers in the produce section and canned jalapenos.

      Deb,
      I use Serrano chilies

    Manjula:

    Thank you for your delicious recipes. This one is a classic. I coarsely grate peeled ginger root when I make it. I prefer to grate ginger that way for most recipes requiring fresh ginger.

    Love the easy to follow recipes Manjula, I am an Ayurvedic Therapist and follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle.
    Would you please show a u tube of roasting/toasting the spices, then grinding them, each individual spice.The garlicis added at the end……..it is then kept in a sealed jar for use .I have forgotten the name of it, one uses it with idlis, and melted ghee and is ALL eaten together, it is very very spicy and includes chillies.It is pale golden/red in colour.
    I love it, hope you can show it soon…….

    This is NOT garam masala.

    Warm regards
    Judith

    Hello Aunty Ji,

    I’m a bachelor and make grilled cheese sandwich at least 3 times a week. Your idea of adding ginger relish to it is superb!! Could you please tell me how many days this relish will stay fresh in refrigerator. Thank you so much for your easy to follow videos.

    1. Jaya

      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?
    Jaya
