Curcuma mangga/Mango Ginger/IngiManga/Mavadi Allam
Curcuma mangga (mango ginger) is a plant of the ginger family Zingiberaceae and is closely related to turmeric. The rhizomes are very similar to ginger but have a raw mango taste. They are used in making pickles in south India.This is the last thing I was expecting to see in an Indian Grocery store in U.S.I was first introduced to this by my husband through a debate if it is Turmeric or Ginger.From then on I loved this pachadi for it's refreshing taste and easy procedure.

Mango-Ginger peeled and diced into thin strips - 1 cup
Salt as per taste
Lemon juice to immerse the Mango-Ginger completely
