Baigan Ka Salan ( Eggplant Curry Hyderabadi Style )


This is a spicy eggplant curry with Hyderabadi influence in it. The ingredients look elaborate but it really is not that bad and the end result is very delicious.This is one dish we would be making again at our home.

I do apologize for the bad photos. I was late to serve lunch that day so I clicked it as I was cooking and never did a final presentation for the good photos. I promise when I make it again I will take a better photo that will do justice to its deliciousness and post it.

Homemade Peanut Butter

Who does not love a good Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich. In our home, my son is a very big fan of this healthy snack. So I make my own peanut butter, that way it is fresh, and not loaded with preservatives and other ingredients I have never even heard of.

I make a little at a time and store it in a clean glass container in my fridge. You can also make it in large quantities but make sure to use it up soon as the shelf life of this is less compared to the store brands. I also use a fruit-juice-sweetened-no-sugar-added jam and whole wheat bread to make these sandwiches. Maybe next time I will try to make my own jam and whole wheat loaf too !!

If you use salted peanuts, do not add any additional salt. You can also use honey roasted peanuts, in that case skip the honey. Some recipes called for some peanut oil to be added , however I skipped that as peanuts do have peanut oil in them.
