  Welcome to Hyderabadi Ruchulu, where we explore delightful culinary creations. Today, let's delve into the art of preparing Brinjal with garlic chili or vankaya velluli karam—a combination that tantalizes the taste buds with its spicy allure, particularly appealing to aficionados of brinjal.
Course: Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: Indian
Keyword: Brinjal With Garlic Chili, Eggplant Recipes, Vankaya Recipes
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
1/4 kg Brinjals
12-14 Garlic Cloves
1/4 cup Curry Leaves
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 cup Coriander Leaves
Salt
3 tbsp Oil
Instructions
For this delectable recipe, you'll need 1/4 kg of brinjals. Begin by making vertical cuts in them, dividing the brinjals into four parts, reminiscent of the technique used for gutti vankaya or masala-stuffed brinjal.
To ensure the brinjals maintain their freshness and color, immerse the cut pieces in salt-water, preventing them from turning brown during the preparation process.
Now, let's move on to the cooking process. Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a pan and carefully add the cut brinjals. Fry them, flipping intermittently, over a low flame until they are thoroughly cooked on all sides.
As the brinjals sizzle to perfection, let's craft the garlic chili paste. In a mixer jar, combine garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin seeds, salt to taste, 1 1/2 tsp chili powder, and 1/4 cup curry leaves. Grind these ingredients into a flavorful paste.
Transfer the prepared garlic chili masala to a pan, add a dash of water and 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, and cook for a minute.
Integrate the cooked brinjals into this aromatic blend, stirring them gently. Close the lid and let the concoction simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes.
As the oil begins to float on the surface, garnish the dish with a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves. Finally, cut off the stove.
This mouthwatering brinjal with garlic chili creation is now ready to be savored. Pair it with rice or roti for a wholesome and satisfying meal. Thank you for joining us at Hyderabadi Ruchulu—where every dish tells a tale of flavorsome finesse.

Begin by washing and soaking 2 cups of basmati rice for 30 minutes.
In this recipe, I've used 1/4 kg of spiny gourd. Make slits, and if the spiny gourd is too ripe, remove the seeds.
Now, let's prepare the masala for the biryani. Heat a pan and add 1 tbsp coriander seeds.
Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 4-5 dried chilies, and fry until they change color.
Next, add 1/4 tsp peppercorns, 2 tbsp dried coconut pieces, and turn off the stove.
Now, add 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves and mix. Powder these ingredients in a mixer jar.
Next on the agenda is frying the spiny gourd. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan.
Add the slit spiny gourd.Fry for 4-5 minutes on low flame. If the spiny gourds are large, they need to be steamed or boiled before frying.
Cut off the stove after the color changes.
To a mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup curd.
Add 2 tbsp tamarind pulp, salt to taste, 1 tsp chili powder, prepared masala powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder, 1 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste, 2 dried chilies, and mix.
Next, add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and mix.

Add 1 tsp salt, 2-3 bay leaves, 1 tsp shahjeera, 2-3 cinnamon stick pieces, 5-6 cloves, 4 cardamom, 1 small star anise piece, 1 black stone flower, and let the water simmer.
As the water starts to simmer, add the soaked rice.
Let the rice simmer until it is about 70% cooked. The rest will be cooked in the dum. Strain off the water.
Now, let's prepare the dum layers.
Take a pan with a thick base and spread 2 tbsp clarified butter or ghee on the base.
Add the marinated spiny gourd mixture to the bottom.
Next, add a little water and then add the rice.
Sprinkle brown onions on top along with coriander leaves and mint leaves.
Also, add some clarified butter or ghee on top.
To 1/2 cup warm milk, add a pinch of saffron and mix. This step is optional.
Pour this milk on the rice.
Place a heavy lid on to ensure no vapor comes out of the pan.
Seal off the edges with dough.
Now, we have to cook the dum biryani for 5 minutes on high flame, then, 5 minutes on low flame. Afterward, place a thick flat pan between the flame and biryani pot and cook for an additional 8 minutes on high flame.
Cut off the stove and open the lid after 5 minutes. You'll notice that the leaves have also changed color.

To make healthy crispy corn, start with 2 cups of sweet corn. Begin by boiling the sweet corn.
Heat a pan and fill it with more than half its capacity with water.
As the water starts to simmer, add 2 cups of sweet corn.
The cooked sweet corn will float on the water; drain off the excess water.
Transfer the boiled sweet corn to a mixing bowl.
Add chili powder, salt, 1/2 tsp coriander seeds powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp chopped garlic, 1 tbsp rice flour, 2 tbsp corn flour, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix well.
Ensure the sweet corn is thoroughly coated with the flour and spices. If the mixture becomes too runny, add more flour.
Now, let's move on to the frying process. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a pan and add about 1 tbsp oil.
Introduce the prepared sweet corn into the pan.
Cook on low flame while continuously stirring and mixing.
The sweet corn will take some time to become crispy since we're not deep-frying.
Continue stirring and cooking until the corn achieves a crispy texture.
Turn off the stove once the sweet corn turns crispy. Serve hot.
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding chat masala or garam masala to the healthy crispy corn.

Course: Breakfast Chutney, Lunch
Cuisine: Indian
Keyword: Breakfast Charu, Palli Pachi Pulusu, Peanut Pachipulusu
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
1/2 cup Peanuts
4-5 Dried Chilies
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
20 grams Tamarind
Salt
For Tempering
1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
2-3 Dried Chilies
1/4 cup Curry Leaves
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 1/2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
To begin, gently roast 1/4 cup of peanuts on a low flame. Simultaneously, let's roast 4-5 dried chilies; alternatively, you can opt for chili powder or green chilies to suit your taste preferences.
Now, it's time to extract the pulp from approximately 20 grams of tamarind. The tactile experience of hand-extracting tamarind pulp adds a personal touch to the preparation process.
Moving on to the next step, assemble the roasted peanuts, dried chilies, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, and salt to taste in a mixer jar.
Grind the ingredients into a smooth paste, carefully incorporating water to achieve the desired consistency. This rich, flavorful paste forms the heart of our peanut pachi pulusu.
In a separate bowl, introduce diced onions and separate their layers by gently squeezing them.
Add the prepared paste to the bowl, followed by the tamarind pulp mixed with water.
Adjust the consistency by adding water as needed, achieving the perfect balance for a delightful pachi pulusu.
Conduct a taste test, and if necessary, fine-tune the dish by adding more chili powder or salt according to your taste preferences.
Now, we have to prepare the tempering for the pachi pulusu.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, infusing it with the aromatic blend of 1/2 tsp mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds.
Introduce 2-3 dried chilies, 1/4 cup of curry leaves, and 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder.
Pour this flavorful tempering over the prepared palli pachi pulusu, infusing it with an additional layer of aromatic goodness.
Indulge your senses by serving this delectable creation with steaming hot rice or alongside a variety of tiffins

  Welcome to Hyderabadi Ruchulu, where we explore the art of cooking! Today, we have a delightful recipe to share with you: Watermelon Dosa. While we often discard the white part of watermelon and enjoy only the red flesh, it's important to know that the white skin holds valuable nutrients that can greatly benefit our health. To create this delectable dosa, we'll combine the white part of the watermelon with rice, excluding lentils. Not only does this dosa taste amazing, but it also provides a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Let's get started with the preparation:
Course: Breakfast, Tiffin
Cuisine: Indian
Keyword: Crispy Dosa, Watermelon Dosa
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup Rice
2 tbsp Bengal gram
1/2 tsp Fenugreek seeds
Watermelon (white part only - diced)
2 small pieces Ginger
3 Green chilies
Instructions
Begin by washing the rice, bengal gram, and fenugreek seeds.
Soak them in water for a minimum of 3-4 hours, or you can leave them overnight.
If you prefer to minimize the watermelon flavor, remove the red pulp from the watermelon. Proceed to dice the white part of the watermelon.
In a mixing jar, add the soaked rice and bengal gram, along with the diced watermelon, ginger, and green chilies. Grind these ingredients into a smooth paste, adding water as needed.
Allow the batter to sit for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Heat a pan and pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan.
Spread the batter evenly and cook on high flame.
If desired, you can add a drizzle of oil or ghee for extra flavor.
Cook the dosa until it turns golden brown, then flip it to cook the other side.
After flipping, cook for another minute until both sides are thoroughly cooked.
Finally, serve the hot watermelon dosa with your choice of chutney or pickle.
By embracing the white part of the watermelon, we can enjoy a unique and nutritious twist to our traditional dosa recipe. We hope you relish every bite of this flavorful dish. Happy cooking!
