    Sutta Kathirikkai Chutney

    Nobody can beat grandma's cooking right? Simple yet delicious. You don't need exotic spices or heavy machinery to produce super delicious meals. You only need a old specialist cook to assist you or even cook for you the simplest dishes that taste so unique. Kotsu is one of her speciality dishes, because it is tangy, spicy yet so flavourful dish made with brinjal. I have my way of making kotsu, i have posted that recipe here before. But this is her way way of doing it, so simple but so flavourful.


    Specially this Kotsu, it doesn't call for any ingredients that is fancy. Just simple stuff that are cooked on open flame to get its maximum flavour. The highlight of this recipe is you can cook this with zero oil. My grandma doesn't use spoon or masher for this, she just uses her hand to do all the mixing. That is really a rustic way of cooking. Hope you will try out and let me know how it turned out for you.

      Hi Aarthi, I really enjoy your grandma cooking! I almost love the eggplants smoked, so I surelly will try this simple and taste recipe.

      Just one thing, whats the meaning of Asafoetida / Hing / Kaya Podi. Could you please give me a substitute.

      Thanks!

      Superb dish. Thought only big size bringal can be used for sutta kathri kai kotsu. First time knowing that even red chillies can be charred. Thanks to grandma.

      @CoccoAsafoetida is a pungent spice. You can skip that in this recipe if you dont have it
