Stuffed Baby Eggplant Curry/Stuffed Brinjal Curry


We are entering the 62nd edition of Blogging Marathon with  many interesting themes.For this edition I chose no tomato gravies and will be showcasing of the no tomato version of gravies for next few days.
Addition of tomato gives a nice thick creamy and tangy taste to the gravies,but it can be substituted with other ingredients to get the exact taste and texture.
Today's recipe is a stuffed eggplant curry where no grinding of masala involved.It is a simple curry in which eggplants cooked in a onion and coconut paste.For the tangy taste used a little amount of tamarind.Off to the recipe................................

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
