This is a jam to be served with biriyani,or any
type of rice . After I innovated and tasted this
recipe only ,I thought it could be served with
even samosas, or used as a spread for wraps
or sandwiches.
I used to make this jam with tomatoes
alone,but today I wanted to make something
different.
So started with mint,ginger,and jaggery
( vellam) .
You could use brown sugar,country
sugar,or even sugar . Believe me your tastebuds
will have a feast.Awesome taste!
The ingredients are suited best for digestion!
