Tip 1: If you have added more water in ginger while grinding, then you need to cook for a while after seasoning to reach the desired consistency.

Tip 2: You can store outside temperature for 2 days. If you store it in glass container, it stays good for more than a week time.

Tip 3: As I said before, it is going to be really spicy. If you do not want more spicy, either you can reduce red chilli or add more jaggery.

Tip 4: If you still think you can not handle the spice, you can add fresh coconut pieces about 1/4 cup and grind along with ginger.
