Ginger Relish
Ginger Relish is very handy to have in your refrigerator for spicing up many different dishes.
- ¼ cup ginger (finely chopped)
- 4 green chilies
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Cut the green chilies lengthwise (remove the seeds if you like mild).
- Chop the green chilies to match the size of the chopped ginger.
- Mix ginger, chili, salt and lemon juice together and store in glass jar.
- Before serving refrigerate the relish for 24 hours.
- Relish can be refrigerated for about 2 weeks. Note: after a couple of days the green chilies will fade in color and will become milder in taste.
Variations
- Thinly slice the green chilies and ginger about 1 inch lengthwise and mix with salt and lemon juice.
Serving suggestions
- Mix the chopped relish with cream cheese and use as a sandwich spread.
- Lightly spread between grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Sprinkle over any chat.
- Use sliced relish to garnish any dal, rice, subji with gravy.
- The relishes’ juice can be mixed with olive oil to make a salad dressing.

November 13, 2019 at 6:02 amFor 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.

November 18, 2014 at 4:19 pmA 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.

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.

August 24, 2013 at 9:08 amLove 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

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.

May 2, 2010 at 9:03 amCan the ginger be grated and used. That way it can be used as a dip for snacks as well.

January 31, 2009 at 5:57 amIf 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.

June 27, 2008 at 11:05 amDear 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?
