Puli Inji, Inji Thayir and Inji Kichadi
by Maya Akhil on April 8, 2011 28 Comments
Inji puli is a pickle that is a must in a Kerala Sadya. As all of you know, most of the Kerala dishes are influenced by regional variations. As far as
I know, this dish has two major variations and is called by two different names in the Southern and Northern part of Kerala Inji Curry and Puli
Inji. As both me and Lakshmi, are from the South, we have already posted the recipe for inji curry here.
This puli inji recipe was shared by Preetha J ayesh who is from Trissur. Inji curry is usually spicier than puli inji and the taste of ginger
predominates the sweet and sour taste of jaggery and tamarind . But in the case of puli inji there is a balance of sweet and sour elements and the
taste of ginger does not dominate them and it is way sweeter than our inji curry. The main ingredients of this dish are ginger, green chilies,
tamarind and jaggery. The traditional method doesnt call for frying the ginger but you can fry it if you want. The other recipes, Inji thayir and Inji
Kichadi, are not a part of traditional Kerala feast but is usually served during pirannal sadya and sraddham. Hope you like them!!
Ingredients
1. Ginger 1/4 cup, finely chopped
2. Tamarind / Puli Lemon-sized
3. Green chilies 5 6, sliced to thin rounds

if you want. To fry ginger - Heat about 2 tbsp oil in a pan and saute the finely chopped ginger until brown), jaggery cubes and let it simmer until it
reaches a thick consistency, stirring occasionally. It would take more than an hour to achieve this consistency. Adjust the tamarind and jaggery

Anonymous,
Add the yogurt directly to the slightly cooled roasted ginger. You dont need to grind it.
