Eggplant/Kathirikai/Brinjal 3 Tomatoes 2 Onion 1 Green chilly 4 Oil (Sesame preferable) 2 tspn Mustard seeds 1 tspn Dry red chilly 1 or 2 Urad dal 1 tspn Curry leaves 5 Salt to taste Water 2 cups

Step 1. Wash the eggplants, tomatoes, green chillies and onions. Chop the eggplant, onion and tomatoes. Slit the green chillies slightly. When you are using large amount of brinjal, always cut them and put them into a bowl of water since they will turn black if exposed to air. Take the pressure cooker and add all the chopped vegetables the eggplant, chillies, tomatoes (a handful), onions (a handful). We need little tomatoes and onions for tempering, so I used a handful while pressure cooking them. Add water. Be careful while adding water since after pressure cooking, the eggplant and tomatoes will give more water, so add water just until the level of vegetables in the cooker. Add little salt.

Step 2. Pressure cook them for 2 whistles. Switch off flame. Step 3. Meanwhile when the pressure is getting released by itself well make ready for tempering the chutney. Place a dry wok in medium flame. Step 4. When the wok is hot add oil. When the oil is nicely hot add the mustard seeds. Let the mustard seeds splutter thoroughly. Add urad dhal, and pinched red chilly. Step 5. After 5 to 7 secs add in the remaining chopped onions and curry leaves. Fry the onion for 2-3 minutes Step 6. In the meantime, open the cooker. Step 7. Drain the water (reserve it for later cooking). Step 8. Mash the vegetables nicely. When my mom makes this brinjal chutney at home, she used to call me at this stage, since I like to mash them with that keerai matthu (motar to mash cooked greens). When youre making big amount just give a slight turn in a blendor but be careful if theyre hot. Cool them a little and then blend just for a second Step 9. Were still in the tempering process once the onions are fried for 2-3 minutes, add in tomatoes and cook them well until the tomatoes become translucent. My mom does not add tomatoes while tempering. But I like to have them nicely soured so that it goes too good with Idlies and Dosas . So if you have a tongue for much of sourness then you can add a little more tomatoes. Step 10. Once the tomatoes become translucent add in the mashed chutney. Switch off the stove. We do not want the chutney to boil. Mix them well. Step 11. Mix in the water which we drained from the cooker. Add water according to the level of consistency you wish. Step 12. Mix well. Check the salt. Chutney ready to be served. VANKAYA PACHADI
Brinjals kg To be ground coarsely: Oil: 2-3 tbsp

Bengal gram dal/senaga pappu/chana dal : 2tsp Urad dal/minappa pappu :2 tsp Mustard seeds/ avalu : tsp Cumin seeds/jeera : 1 tsp Methi seeds/fenugreek seeds/menthulu :1/4 tsp. Dry red chillies : 3-4 Hing/asafetida : tsp Green chillies : 3-4 or according to taste Curry leaves : few. Tamarind : size of a small lemon. Garlic pods: 3-4(optional) Turmeric: tsp. Salt : to taste.

For tempering: Oil : 1-2 tbsp Jeera : 1 tsp

Mustard seeds : 1/2 tsp Hing : tsp Curry leaves : few The process of making this chutney can be broken down into three phases for easier understanding and remembering. Phase 1: The first step involves chopping the brinjals into small pieces and then frying them in a pan. I have used the round large brinjal for this purpose. I chopped the brinjal into 1 cubes. I then put some oil in a non stick pan, added the brinjal pieces once the oil was warm, covered and then cooked the pieces on low heat stirring occasionally. The idea is to see that the pieces get softened due to the heat inside the pan and the moisture inside from the brinjal pieces. Once the pieces turn soft and change colour, remove the pieces from the pan and set them aside to cool Phase 2: The second phase would be making the coarse chutney powder. Heat oil in a pan. As the oil turns hot add the chana dal and udad dal. Keep frying till the seeds change colour slightly. Now add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and red chillies. Keep stirring to ensure that nothing burns as it would turn the chuney bitter. Now add the hing and stir. Add the garlic pods, green chillies, curry leaves and turmeric. Mix everything well. Allow this mixture to cool. Add the tamarind piece and grind it into a coarse paste. Make sure that there are no seeds in the tamarind. Alternately you can make a paste out of the tamarind by soaking it in lukewarm water and use that. (We are making a coarse powder because we would further grind after adding the brinjal pieces.) To this coarse powder, add the brinjal pieces and salt and grind further. You can add red chilli powder also at this stage for extra heat. It depends on your personal choices and taste. Remove the ground chutney and keep it aside. Phase 3: Prepare some tempering with jeera, mustard seeds hing and curry leaves and pour it over the chutney. Add some chopped coriander for garnishing. Mix well. Serve with rice. If you want to be a bit more adventurous, you can try it with rotis and pulkas too.

INGREDIENTS REQUIRED: Ridge gourd : 1 big size peeled and chopped If the ridge gourd is fresh, you can just roughly peel the ridge gourd. The skin is supposed to be good in fibre and has nutritious value too. Some house holds retain whole of the skin and make a chutney out of it. Onion : 1 medium sized roughly chopped Green chillies : 3 to 4 or depending on taste cut in big pieces Garlic cloves : 4 to 5 Corinader leaves : a bunch Ground nuts : 1/2 cup roasted or fried in oil Bengal gram dal/senaga pappu/chana dal : 2tsp Urad dal/minappa pappu :2 tsp Fenugreek seeds/methi : 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds : 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds/jeera : 1 tsp Dry red chillies : 4 to 5 Hing/asafotida: a pinch Turmeric powder : a pinch Red chilli powder: according to taste, optional Tamarind : small piece

METHOD: Heat oil in a kadhai or a frying pan. When the oil is warm enough add the chana dal and udad dal and fry till the dals change colour slightly. Add the fenugreek/methi seeds and fry for a few seconds. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter and fry. Add broken red chillies and continue frying. Add a little asafotieda powder and turmeric powder Fry for a couple of seconds. Turn the heat off. Place this tempering in a food processor/ mixie and allow to cool down. Add the roasted the roasted/ friend groundnuts. Once the tempering is cooled down, grind it into a powder.

Soak the tamarind in warm water, make a pulp and keep aside. Now in the same kadhai, heat some oil , add the onions and fry. The onion just need to change colour a little. Do not burn. Transfer the onions into the mixie. In the remaining oil, fry the garlic pods, green chillies and coriander leaves. .

Transfer them into the mixie and blitz couple of times so that you get a rough paste. Add some more oil to the kadhai , fry the ridge gourd pieces. The pieces should turn a soft and fry slightly. The term we use is telugu is magginchatam. Now to the mixie jar, add ridge gourd pieces, salt, tamarind paste, Chilli powder and blitz. Some people like their chutneys completely soft while others like to see some small pieces. Grind till you get the consistency of your choice.

Check for seasoning.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Serve with hot rice topped with some ghee and curd on the side. You can also try having this with some rotis Oil : 3 to 4 tbsp Bengal gram dal/senaga pappu/chana dal : 2tsp Urad dal/minappa pappu :2 tsp Fenugreek seeds/methi : 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds/jeera : 1 tsp Dry red chillies : 2 to 3 broken.

Hing/asafotida: a pinch Garlic pods : 10 to 15 Green chillies : 2 to 3 or as required broken into 2 (It is always good to use less number of chillies in the first attempt because different people are used to different levels of heat. Once you make the chutney for the first, you can add more number of chillies depending on the requirement). Curry leaves : a few Coriander leaves: a few sprigs Salt: to taste Lemon juice: to taste Heat oil in a frying pan. When the oil starts to get hot slightly add the bengal gram dal, allow to fry for a few seconds and add the urad dal.

Add the hing too and allow all the flavours to comet together. Add the green chillies and fry for a few seconds. Add the garlic pods and fry for a minute or so. We dont want the garlic pods to fry too much or change colour. Add the curry leaves and coriander and mix well. Add salt to taste. Allow the mixuture to cool down and grind into a paste in the food processor or mixie. You can add lemon juice to the chutney before serving to zing up the flavour. Serve with rice.
