Hey everyone 🙋🏻♀️
Todays post is a traditional South Indian tamilian recipe…

Puli in tamil means tamarind.. Milagai is chillies…
So that’s chillies simmered in a tamarind base…
This yumm spicy tangy chutney is a must try…
In India, a visit to the farmers market is incomplete without the sabjiwale/ vendors giving us extra chillies just like that..
Sometimes due to lack of change or just a complimentary with coriander and curry leaves…
I am always left with abundance of green chillies, which eventually lying unused, rot away..

So when I came across this yummy tamilian recipe, I had to try it out and trust me a dash of this with curd rice is like heaven…
It can also be had with our traditional dosas and idlis and simple hot hot rice with ghee..
The recipe is courtesy Chitra Muralis kitchen
The ingredients are pretty simple
🌶Green chillies – as many as you want to make😊
🌶Mustard seeds- 1 teaspoon
🌶Methi seeds – 1 teaspoon
🌶Asafoetida – a pinch

Recipe
