Inji Marundhu or Ginger Medicine
Ingredients
Dried Ginger Powder - 1 tsp
Jeera (Cumin) - 1 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
Ghee or unsalted butter - 1 tbsp
Jaggery or Brown Sugar - 5 tsp
Method:
- Heat Ghee or unsalted butter in a pan in medium
flame. Add Dried Ginger Powder, Jeera and Black Pepper
Powder to it. Fresh ginger paste may also be added
instead of Ginger Powder.
- Fry till the Jeera sputters.
- Add Brown Sugar and mix well.
- Take a spoon test. Try to cut the mix in half. If
the bottom of the pan is clearly visible, that means
the mix is ready.
- Take out from the gas stove. The mix would be a
little liquid now. But it would solidify on cooling.
Too much heating would make the Marundhu very hard on
cooling.
If your Inji Marundhu is too hot for you, don't worry,
just add a little ghee to it, re-heat, add jaggery or
brown sugar, mix well. Follow step 4 and 5. If it is
too sweet, perform similar step but add Black Pepper
Powder instead of Jaggery or Brown Sugar.
Cooking Time: 10 min
