One my friends introduced this dish to me. During the Onam festival in Kerala, the feast called Onam Sadhya is a very important part of it. Puli inji is one of the side dishes served in the feast. When I first tasted this dish, I liked it a lot, so now, I make it fairly often in my home. The taste of puli inji is a combination of sour, hot and sweet. You can consume this dish like pickle, so I mostly make it in very small quantity. It is a mouth watering dish and it doesn’t take a long time to make, so it has become a common dish in my household.
