How to make big brinjal chutney?/ Roasted egg pant chutney.
Brinjal is also known as egg plant. It is one of the weight loss vegetables. This eggplant chutney is often made in Telugu homes. A favorite dish in our family too..This chutney has a smoky flavor. Because eggplants are burnt on the stove top. Thats why its called smoked brijal chutney or burnt brinjal chutney. In telugu it is known as kalchina vankaya pachadi or vankaya iguru pachadi. Minapa vadialu(urad dal fryums) is a good combination for this dish. I am sharing andhra style roasted brinjal/eggplant chutney here.
