Stirr in between and keep it on fire till the Puli achieves a thick consistency
Then add crushed jaggery and curry leaves and blend in well.
Dry roast rice and fenugreek seeds separately in a pan and powder it and add it to the Puli and mix well
To a pan add rest of the oil, add mustard seeds and once it pops add dried red chilies and saute till the color of the red chilies turn to light brown

Some people use garlic also.
Can try the same recipe adding chopped garlic too.
Puli inchi and inchi curry is not the same
Ginger and green chillies should be cooked well, else the correct texture will not be achieved
