Puli Inji/Inji Curry - Ginger In Tamarind Sauce


Today's recipe for the final day of blogging Marathon #42 under the theme South Indian Thali recipe is Puli Inji.
Puli Inji is a typical Kerala dish which is slightly tangy and sweet with the flavor of ginger,served on Sadhya menu as an accompaniment.
This recipe I note down from a Kerala friend and tried it for the first time.It came out so delicious and I scaled down the measurement and made it with 1/2 cup of grated ginger as I tried it for first time.
In the original recipe finely chopped ginger is used but as I wanted  the consistency to be smooth I used the grated ginger.Now off to the recipe..........................................

  • Remove the fibres in the ginger while grating.
  • The consistency of the puli inji is personal preference,it can be made slightly thick or dry consistency.After cooling it becomes thick.
  • Oil should float to maintain the shelf life so be generous with the oil.
  • It can be stored in the refrigerator for a month and use a dry clean spoon.
  • The amount of green chilly can be increased or decreased according to personal preference.
