Puli Inji- Kerala Dish
I love this puli inji its best when paired with sodhi. I don't know how many of you have tasted or made sodhi, but if you haven't please do try it out. Its very popular in Sri Lanka and people around Thirunelveli makes it too. Its srilankans favorite recipe. It can be had with rice or Idiyappam. At my place I make it with rice for lunch and add this puli inji as its side dish. Everyone loves it. Its very simple to make and takes only basic stuff from our kitchen. This puli Inji is kerala dish and its made during onam/vishu festival. A very popular dish that's made by southern part of people. If you haven't tried it, I would highly recommend to try it on. You will fall in love with it.
