Broiled Eggplant Raita | Sutta Katharikai Pachadi

0 · ·

Here I am with the Blogging Marathon group post. This is my other food bloggers group where we post recipes based on a theme for 3 days continuously for 4 weeks. This month I am planning to participate only for two weeks. So the next three recipes including today will be under the theme “Family Recipes”. I picked this theme because Amma is here is with me now and I learnt lot of family based recipes which I haven’t tried by myself. With Amma’s supervision this time I tried this by myself and here they are…

Broiled Eggplant Raita | Sutta Katharikai Pachadi

The first recipe that I am going to post is a super simple one. As we call it Sutta Katharikai pachadi or Roasted/broiled eggplant pachadi. In India, Amma used to roast it on stove top. You can roast it that or you can broil the way I did too. The burnt taste of brinjal mixed with curd and tadka is heavenly. This is a perfect side for sambhar rice or any variety rice. Amma said it goes well with Ven Pongal too but I haven’t tried that combo yet. :-)
