Mutton Dalcha

In our place there is a shop named Ambur Briyani, they serve one of the best briyani in town. I love it a lot. One of the accompaniment which they serve with the briyani is brinjal dalcha. It taste tangy spicy and taste heavenly with that. I always wanted to make that whenever i make briyani. That one is a vegetarian side dish. But we have a non veg version of that made with mutton and veggies. I got that recipe from my friend jafrin.When i gave it a shot it was so yummy.
