A cousin of Turmeric, the roots taste like regular ginger, but with less pungency and a fruity mango flavour.
In a handbook, we read:
Mango Ginger rhizome is a popular spice and vegetable for its rich flavour, described as sweet with subtle earthy floral and peppery notes and aromas similar to those of raw mango. It is a delicious addition to salads and stir-fries. It is used in South Asian and Southeast Asian and Far Eastern Asian cuisines and, most typically, in Thai cuisine. In India, it is most used in chutneys and pickling. Some of the dishes on popular recipe websites that use mango ginger as a flavour and spice are: Kondaikadalai pachadi, mango ginger gravy, mango ginger pickle, grilled pan chicken with fiery mango ginger salsa, gingerbread cupcakes with mango ginger frosting, hot grilled shrimp with mango ginger sauce, couscous cake with fresh mango ginger chutney, grilled Thai chicken salad with mango ginger, spicy mango ginger tofu, mango ginger sorbet.
