Few weeks back when I googled for onam sadya menu items, found that inji puli is also one among the menu and to my surprise there was not much difference in kerala style inji puli recipe.So I made it and clicked to post it here for onam special.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level according to your taste.
  • Oil should float as with any pickle so don’t compromise on oil else it will get spoiled easily.
  • I love jaggery in this but if you don't prefer the sweetness then skip it. You can use jaggery powder or jaggery syrup.
  • Make sure you chop ginger and green chillies very finely so that it gets cooked easily.
  • Inji Puli thickens after cooling down so switch off accordingly.
  • You can refrigerate it and it keeps well for 2-3 weeks. Use clean spoon every time.
  • Jaggery syrup need not be very thick. Just dissolve jaggery in water and heat it up for 5mins, then strain and use it.
