Recipe Notes

Consistency: The consistency of Allam Pachadi can be as you prefer. Some like it thick, like jam, while some like it slightly loose and pourable. Vary the water added at the time of blending to your liking.

Ginger's Heat: The ginger's heat level can vary. In case you find ginger very pungent, a little less can be used. The point is to balance so that the ginger flavor is noted and not overriding.
