Puli inji recipe – Kerala inji puli recipe – Onam Sadhya recipes – When I posted the recipe of Puli Milagai a few weeks back, a few readers sent me a request for puli inji recipe. Though my mom makes puli inji at home being an ardent hater of Ginger, I somehow postponed making puli inji. But recently when I tasted this in my friend’s place I somehow liked the taste and decided to make puli inji and post the recipe. Normally it is one of the dishes made in Onam Sadhya Menu.

Jey, I have tried this recipe it came out well… I have posted it @ https://great-secret-of-life.blogspot.sg/2012/11/inji-curry-puli-inji-recipe.html.. thanks for sharing
Methi seeds and curry leaves are also added to it for the authentic kerala taste.
Nice recipe, thanks.
Should this be refrigerated ? I tried this, but after keeping in fridge for about a month and using it occasionally, found a white layer of 'poonjai' on the surface. How can I avoid this ?
Yes it has to be refrigerated if using for long time. But to avoid fungus formation, mix this well with a spoon once a week with a dry spoon.
Hi jeyashri
I tried the puli inji came out really good. I grinded the ginger without water instead of grating.
Thanks
