Moor Milagai (Sun-Dried Chilies)

Traditional Sun-Dried Buttermilk Chilies

Moor Milagai, also known as Sun-Dried Curd Chilies, is a cherished South Indian condiment made by soaking green chilies in spiced buttermilk and drying them under the sun. Over several days, the chilies absorb the tangy flavor of the buttermilk and transform into intensely flavorful, sun-cured delicacies.

Once deep-fried, these chilies turn crisp and slightly charred, offering a bold burst of heat and tang. Often served alongside curd rice, rasam, or simple meals, Moor Milagai adds a spicy, nostalgic punch to every bite — a true taste of tradition.
