I have another two weeks to go for my two-month deadline and seven whole pounds to lose. Off to the gym RIGHT NOW. And oh. a giant bowl of gazpacho for dinner. 1 Chop all the...

http://palakkadcooking.blogspot.com/2015/04/puli-inji.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Puli Inji is tangy spicy condiment in which the main ingredients are ginger, green chillies and tamarind. It is one of the main items served in a sadhya along with the pickles. It can be stored for 20 days when refrigerated and handled with care. Puli inji is one of my favorite items on the sadhya menu. Though it is a delicacy prepared during a feast, but really, you don't need any special occasion to prepare this. Puli Inji pairs beautifully with molagootal and curd rice. Now add...
