Author Notes: Inji Kari is easily described as a sweet and sour ginger sauce. This particular recipe was my father in law’s favorite, and my mother in low made sure it was on the table for lunch every day for more than ten years. I like to remember this recipe by his name; we used to call him ‘Acha’.
