 Adding coffee jellies in it is the highlight. Some information about china grass or agar agar or Japanese isinglass(information from wiki)  is - it is a type of vegetable gelatin extracted from seaweed. This is natural thickener and it is used to prepare jellies, puddings,ice creams, puddings, desserts etc., It is available in the form of dried strands or in powder form. I used dried strands, it is soaked in hot water for 10 to 20 minutes then used. We can also powder the dried strand and use. It gives smooth and glassy look, it set easily on room temperature. And it does not melt when kept out at room temperature so we can use it easily, kids will love to have jellies. 



Taking this chilled, tasty, creamy and jelly cold coffee with coffee jelly to Foodie Monday Blog Hop fb group's #245Loveforcoffee theme.This week theme was suggested by Sasmita, she want us to prepare any recipe using coffee as main ingredient. She is a wonderful and talented chef i love her photography and presentation skills they are very attractive.

Baingan Ki Lonje || Uttar Pradesh famous brinjal curry

Wish you all a very "Happy New Year 2020" to all friends and family.  Today's recipe is from Uttar Pradesh cuisine - Baingan Ki Lonje. It is UP style brinjal curry which is very delectable with its unique flavours and taste. It is spicy, aromatic with spices added in it and sour from lemon juice added. I really loved this variety brinjal recipe as it is easy to prepare and different brinjal recipe i ever tasted. Onions are fried by adding sugar till they are caramelized and they are grinded with other fried spices. We cut brinjal from middle along with stem then apply onion masala and fry it both sides, today i fried brinjals first then applied masala paste and fried again. This makes brinjal cook well from stem. Finally we add lemon juice on fried brinjal. This adds very unique and awesome taste. 



 Taking this tasty "brinjal curry"  to Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge fb group started by Priya of Priyas Versatile Recipes and taken further till date by Mayuri she blogs at Mayuris jikoni.  Here admins will select one Indian state in alphabetical order. And they pick pairs for theme, pairs will share 2 ingredients, using that ingredients we will prepare recipe and post it in group album. Other group members will guess the secret ingredient.This month we bloggers are preparing Uttar Pradesh cuisines, for this month i am paired with Kalyani she blogs at "sizzlingtastebuds.com".  Kalyani is wonderful and talented chef, she had been blogging from 2011.  Do check her lovely site , where you can get many varieties of food. We can get traditional, regional and authentic recipes, you can also get many baking recipes too. I loved her baking style, i tried her  Quick Multigrain Almond bread .

I checked this baingan ki lonje recipe from here with some chances.
