Inji Curry| Puli inji is one of my favourite at home in sadyas.This is my MIL's recipe.She prepares it in the earthen pot and my mouth waters to the taste of it.We usually prepare during our lent period too when we abstain ourselves from all non veg items.I too followed the same procedure but I didn't have an earthen pot.The best thing of this curry(inji puli) is it can be bottled and stored for days in the refrigerator.Do give this a try n enjoy !!
