Pullinji – പുളിഞ്ചി

Pullinji – Traditional Tangy Ginger Tamarind Pickle

Pullinji is a classic South Indian delicacy, especially popular in Kerala cuisine, made from a delightful combination of ginger (inji), tamarind (puli), and jaggery. This tangy, sweet, and spicy dish is a must-have during festivals like Onam and is often served as a part of the traditional Sadya feast.

The bold flavors of Pullinji come from freshly grated or finely chopped ginger, cooked to perfection with tamarind extract, green chilies, jaggery, and a flavorful blend of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chili powder. The rich balance of sweetness from jaggery, the tanginess of tamarind, and the sharp spiciness of ginger make it a taste explosion in every bite.

Pullinji is not only a delicious accompaniment but also has numerous health benefits. Ginger aids digestion, reduces inflammation, and boosts immunity, while tamarind is known for its antioxidant properties. It’s best enjoyed as a side dish with steamed rice, curd rice, or even kanji (rice porridge).
