Chigali (Kannada: ಚಿಗಳಿ) is a popular tangy tamarind[1] treat usually made in Southern India, especially in the state of Karnataka. Chigali is also referred to as Imli ki Goli[2][3][4] in Northern India. Chigali has been introduced into the Indian FMCG market under the brand name "Chicley".[5]
Preparation and ingredients
[edit]The chief ingredient, tamarind, is combined with other ingredients (listed below) and pounded in a kutni (Kannada: ಕುಟ್ನಿ, mortar and pestle in English) or in an oralukallu, which gives the mixture an even consistency. This mixture is then rolled between the palms of the hand to make small round balls. Next, if preferred, these balls can be stuck on sticks, toothpicks, straws, or spoon handles.[6][7] In supermarkets and malls, chigali can be found wrapped in thin transparent covers as chigali candies.[7]

- Tamarind
- Jaggery
- Sugar
- Salt
