Vankaya pachadi (Brinjal Chutney)
Hmmm i love chutneys...I can go days together just with hot rice and any chutney. That is my love for them. My Ammamma is a great cook. Any dish turns out delicious in her magical cooking. She used to prepare chutneys as an additional dish for dinner. As my ammamma's house is near our house, she used to send us almost everything she preapares. Those were the golden days of just tasting the food without bothering how to cook and what to cook.
