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.

Maavinakayi Bisi Uppinakayi, Karnataka special instant raw mango pickle

Maavinakayi Bisi Uppinakayi is Karnataka instant raw mango pickle. Bisi uppinayi is Karnataka instant pickle which is sweet, spicy and sour. It is very aromatic and easy to prepare. Flavours are from mustard and Methi seeds powder, sour from raw mango and sweet from jaggery. We can also prepare tomato bisi uppinakayi too. Bisi Uppinakayi and Kosambari are my favorites from my childhood and that too the one which served in Mangaraya and Ram devaru temples @Adoni 🙏🙏.

The taste of chutney depends on the spices we add. And amount of spices we add depend on the type of raw mango we use and on its sour. I mentioned the spices quantity depending on the sourness of mango which I used. It's been long time I did not prepared this, my cousin Archana Priyadarshini guided me to prepare this chutney perfectly 😍. My hubby always like to have this chutney with curd rice but I always love it with hot steamed rice🤗. So decided your taste 😍.
