மிளகாய்Milagai
Get to know the ingredient
Chilli is the ingredient highlighted in chilli murukku. The term kaaram, used elsewhere in the directory, refers to spiciness rather than identifying one exact chilli formula.
Forms and naming distinctions
Different chilli preparations and blends can be used. A redder appearance is not a precise measure of heat.

Related styles — recipes vary
- Kaaram Sev · காரம் செவ்
- Andhra Murukku · ஆந்திரா முறுக்கு
These connections are educational. A named variation highlights an ingredient; a related style is a general recipe association. Read the actual product label for a verified ingredient declaration.
A useful comparison
Describe flavour and perceived heat separately, using the actual sample and maker’s description. Do not infer the heat level of Andhra-style murukku from a regional name.
A common question
Is milagai the same word as milagu?
No. Milagai refers to chilli; milagu means pepper. They are different naming clues.
