Here in this recipe I have used Naga King Chilly also known as Naga Mircha /Ghost Chilly and Naga Ginger which is different from the normal ginger. The Naga ginger is different from the normal ginger in taste and texture. It has a pungent flavour and more hot and spicy. It has good medical properties too. The use of Naga ginger gives the pickle/chutney an exotic flavour.
