Inji Thogayal
The third of the roots that we will be using is this
humble ginger. In our cuisine we use it in many recipes to enhance the flavour or
for its medicinal properties. One such is this Inji Thogayal which helps in
digestion. It is perfect when paired with curd rice but can be had with dosai
too.
