Hi Supermoms,
The 'Allam Pachadi' is a popular Andhra Style Ginger pickle that is a tasty condiment that is served along side idlis, dosas and even chapathis. At home, we like to eat allam pachadi with steaming hot rice and ghee. "Ginger" is a delicious and healthy spice that is used in various dishes. It is known for it's medicinal properties and is also used in Ayurveda and Siddha medicines.
Allam pacchadi during winter months is bliss as the spicy , sweet pickle is so comforting to our taste buds and also keeps one warm.
This is my MIL's recipe and I am so happy to share it with all of you. Do try and you will fall in love with it.
