Puli milagai is a spicy and tasty recipe that goes well with curd rice. Chillies contain good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Fresh chili, red or green are rich source of vitamin-C. Also chillies are good in B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin and thiamin (vitamin B-1).
