Puli Milagai is a type of pickle in which green chillies are cooked & stewed in a tangy tamarind sauce. It is also vegan and gluten free.
This puli milagai is very popular in Kerala and is not only an everyday affair but is also served in Sadhyas. It will be apt to call this as Kerala style Green Chilli Pickle.
Puli Milagai tastes very spicy and tangy with the addition of jaggery at the end though it acts as a balance more than as a sweetened.
It goes well especially with koozh, porridges, curd rice, pooris and dosas.
