this is also called as milagai pachadi.
for those who cannot stand the spicy chillies
you can add a few tomatoes chopped and saute well before adding the tamarind pulp
but remember you will have to reduce the amount of tamarind and chillies in this variation which my grandma has handed down to us

I wanted to make pidi kozhakattai and puli molagai. This recipe sounds authentically close to the taste of my grandma's puli milagai.Thanks!

I bought a huge bag of beautiful green chillies for one dollar at the market, and couldn't think of a way to use them all up... I looked for a recipe online and stumbled on this one. WOW is it good! It's so delicious I'm going to get more chillies now so I can make it again. ;-)

Glad the recipe was a success, Shyamala. I have tried thokku too, but it releases too much spice into the air in our 'small' apartment. I had a very horrible experience that our faces started burning and we had to leave the house till it subsided. That is something I will never try as long as I am in an apartment. Thank you for letting me know Shammi! I know, from your previous comment, you like

I made your puli milagai recipe a couple of weeks back and it's still going strong. I didnt bother putting up a post on my blog because it would have been the exact copy of yours :) Man, it's yummy!

I've made a similar recipe before but as a thokku - basically, ground up the green chillies to a paste before cooking. Just as yummy, but I like the texture of chopped chillies better.

Pelicano, It was a temptation for me to try 'em with dosas :D

Suganya- What beautiful dosas to accompany this dish- you really know how to tempt your readers!

I'll be getting more chiles soon to try this (and soaking rice and urad dhal too)

Thank you Nandita. I use anodized pans. The colour has got to do with the recipe than the pan (you can see dosa recipe in my previous comment). Its ordinary vendhiyam dosai. I think no fermenting and predominantly rice gives dosa that color. Hope that helps.

Thank you Kajal.

Suganya I prepare more or less the same way and we call it milagai kuzhambu. Instead of jaggery we add a lot of onions too. I have posted one in my blog too a couple of months before.
Crispy dosa with puli milagai would sure taste yummmm... But in opinion,it goes very well with curd rice.
