Inji puli is a traditional and popular dish prepared in Kerala. During festivals, marriages and special occasions when feasts are prepared it is incomplete without inji pulli. Inji pulli has got lot of flavours from chillies, ginger, tamarind, jaggery. It just hits your taste buds with spiciness from ginger, tartness from tamarind, sweetness from ginger, heat from chillies and salt. It is a special pickle dish of Kerala.

I am following my mom’s recipe. It is very tasty and delicious.

Ginger 1/2 cup finely diced
Green chilly 1/2 cup finely diced
Curry leaf 1 sprig
Jaggery 1/4 cup
Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

METHOD

Heat 1/2  cup water add the jaggery and dissolve  it , strain and keep it aside.

Heat coconut oil in a pan add mustard seeds when it splutters add the finely chopped ginger, finely chopped green chillies, curry leaves,turmeric and fry for 5 minutes.

Add the tamarind pulp, jaggery syrup and salt. Simmer and cook on low flame for 8 – 10 minutes until gravy becomes thick.

The sweetness of jaggery can be adjusted.

Oil should float on top then the pickle will not get spoiled easily.

Refrigerate and keep. It will stay for a week.
