Today's recipe is brinjal chutney. This is traditional recipe which is followed by our elders. Brinjal is also known as vankaya in telugu, badanekai in kannada, Kathirikai in Tamil, baingan in hindi. I mentioned title as vankaya mukkala pachadi means brinjal pieces chutney because we can prepare brinjal chutney by frying brinjal. By placing it on stove directly. Roasted brinjal chutney taste good when it is grinded using pestle and mortar. I will post that recipe soon. I do not like brinjal much but likes to have brinjal chutney and gutti vankay. Generally we add seasoning at last but for this traditional chutney's we grind seasoning along with brinjal which adds good flavor. I used sambar onions it gives good taste to the chutney. This chutney goes well with steamed rice and roti's.
