Pacha Milagai Kuzhambu an ultimate treat for the Spice lovers !!. If you want to try the real tamil spice 🙂 then you can go for it. I got this recipe from Meenakshi Ammal’s “Samaithu Par” series. Some traditional old recipes are forgotten nowadays mainly because of its complexity or time consuming or diet restrictions. Most of our parents, grandparents generation like to include more spice in their regular diet. Our generation has started reducing spices and most of our children hate spice. They want only mild or no spice in their diet. So we deviated much from our older generations. But these recipes are traditional and has their own unique taste and flavor.

Though the main ingredient is Green chili, the spice is balanced with tamarind. This kuzhambu goes very well with curd rice (thayir sadham). You can also use this as a side dish for Idly and Dosa. You can use this for 3-4 days if you preserve it in the refrigerator.

Tips for making Green Chili Kuzhambu

  1. Choice of Chili : Small Green chili is the right choice for this kuzhambu. Small chili has more spice than the bigger one.  I have used 10-12 chili. Adjust the quantity according to your spice level
  2. Tamarind will balance out the spice of green chili. Also the jaggery will add more flavor and reduce the spice and sourness
  3. Sautéing green chilies reduces their spice a little instead of grinding raw chili
  4. Adding Rice flour give a thickness to the kuzhambu. We can exclude rice flour if we like watery consistency
  5. Serve with Dosa or Curd rice as an accompaniment
