Ginger and Tamarind pickle/Puli Inji Recipe

A tangy, sweet and spicy pickle all rolled into one, this Ginger and Tamarind Pickle called Puli inji will have the taste buds tingling. Goes well with almost everything, rice and dal, Roti, bread or can also be served as a dip. My heartfelt thanks to my friend Sujaya Anand who shared this recipe with me.

Roast on a gentle flame for about five minutes. Add the jaggery, salt and tamarind paste. Mix well. Add half a glass of water and cook the mixture on a slow flame till it turns semi solid. Allow to cool thoroughly before storing.
