Inji Puli Achar is a special pickles from Kerala, India made basically from chopped or grated Inji (Ginger) and Tamarind (Puli) or Tamarind Paste cooked with lots of spices like any other Achaar/Achar from Kerala. (Please see related article on Achar/Achaar)

Inji Puli Achar is mostly prepared for big and very important festivities, like Onam and Wedding feast. It was one of the Pickles (Achar) prepared during the wedding of one of my second family member in Allepey, a district in Kerala.

Below is a picture of Inji Puli served during the said wedding. Can be seen clearly are Black Mustard Seeds (Kadugu) which is one of the spices used for making Achar/Achaar.

Inihaw na Hito is one of the grilled/broiled foods from the Philippines which makes use of Catfish/Cat Fish called Hito in the country.

Inihaw na Hito is often served with a Sawsawan (dip) made from Calamansi juice (local lemon from Philippines) and Patis (fish sauce ).

Honestly, I have never tasted Hito in my entire adult life because my Mom never bough any fish caught from the rivers or lakes in the Philippines as she found it unsafe to eat due to dirty and polluted rivers and lakes of the Philippines.
