On my vacation trip to Andhra pradesh i visited a typical village.when i reached the place it was lunch time.my friend's mom told that she prepared anything special for lunch as she is not aware of our visit so she only made Vankayya BAJJI.it sounds nice i excited hearing the word VANKAYYA BAJJI.I thought that she had made Bajji's with Vankayya,which means Brinjal.bcoz in chennai Bajji means a snack.she served us lunch with Brinjal chutney,Mango pickle,ghee and Pappu(Dhal).i was waiting for the Bajji to be served.but she didnt...
later when i asked my friend whats Vankaya Bajji??? she told me its the chutney which i had few minutes before.i laughed out for my innocence.I made this recipe now after many years.
