Anda phugina and Baingan ka bharta

Here in my blog I want to enter recipes as groups. That is, as a whole set for a complete dinner or lunch. Usually when I decide I want to make some curry then my big question will be what should be the accompanement with that...in indian language-Khatta. So here on my blog you will find both of the them, which I feel is a good combination for a day

So, today's recipes are Anda Phugina (called ande ka kharaz in my house), Baingan bharta with white rice

Anda Phugina (Scrambled egg Indian style)

Ande ka kharaz

Ingredients:
  1. 1 large onion chopped fine
  2. 1 small green chilly chopped
  3. 1/2 teaspoon salt, chilly powder, coriander powder
  4. 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  5. 4 eggs beaten
  6. 2 tablespoons oil
  7. cilantro for garnishing
In a pan heat the oil and fry the onions till tender. Add the rest of the ingredients except eggs and stir to combine. Now add the eggs and stir to combine. Cook till the eggs are cooked through. garnish with cilantro and enjoy


Again there are a million versions of the recipe for bhaingan ka bharta. But this is my mom's recipe. Easy and yummy
Baingan ka Bharta (Eggplant cooked in Tamarind juice)

  5. 2 tablespoons oil divided
  6. 1/4 cup chopped onions
  7. A couple of dried red chillies and few curry leaves
In a pressure cooker heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the onions till tender. Add the egg plan pieces and fry for a couple of minutes. Add salt, chilly powder, turmeric, tamarind juice and cook for 3 whistles. Let all the steam escape. In a pan heat the remaining oil and fry the mash, cumin, mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves till they start to splutter. Add the cooked egg plant and simmer till it becomes a bit thick. garnish with cilantro and serve with hot rice and Ande ka kharaz (the above recipe)
