Puli Milagai Recipe ,Chili Pickle with Tamarind and Jaggary

Puli Milagai-Sweet and sour green chili pickle made with tamarind, jaggary and few basic spices

Puli Milagai is a classic south Indian pickle .Green chilies are tempered and cooked with jaggary and tamarind.It is a very delicious sweet and sour pickle, it can be made fresh in small quantities as it doesn’t have a long shelf life.

Its best enjoyed with curd rice,daal, rice or as a side dish with any meal but I enjoyed it the most with aloo paratha.

Puli milagai is usually made with only green chilies but I always add some chopped ginger in it .The consistency of its gravy depends on individual choice ,if you like more gravy then add little extra water but I prefer it on thicker side.Try to choose mild variety of green chilies to make this chili pickle.

The word puli means tamarind and Milagai means green chili thus the name of this pickle is Puli Milagai-green chili cooked with tamarind.

I love chili pickle and often make-

  • Stuffed chili pickle ,
  • Maharashtrian chili pickle,
  • Chili and lemon pickle
  • Rajasthani Mirch ke tipore
  • Digestive lemon pickle
