Pillai legiyam is a preparation of ganja fried in ghee, strained and mixed with sugar, recorded in the Madras Presidency. L. C. Miller, the acting collector of Trichinopoly, listed it in 1893 among the ganja preparations eaten in his district, in his evidence to the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission.[1]: 190 In 1957 I. C. and R. N. Chopra gave the same description of it among the special ganja preparations of Madras, with purnadhi legiyam, majiyam and purnadhi.[2]
