Badanekayi Palya in North Karnataka Style

March 21, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This week was super delicious.  The breakfast, the lunch and dinner had a kind of super deliciousness. May be because kids are around asking for snacks at random hours, and the things got prepared for them with love. Or may be the thrill involved in making recipe video for each post had given that extra taste. May be, I don’t know. This badanekayi palya tells you all that.  Purple shaded, round brinjals were turned in to spice loaded, colorful curry which was scrumptious to pair with chapati. Kids were asking for second serving though they hate brinjals. So this tells it all. Isn’t it?


Ok, let’s get in to the recipe. The brinjal, eggplant or aubergine is called as “BADANEKAYI” in Kannada and it’s the most perfect pair with jolada rotti (jowar pancake). And so, this veggie is cooked in many forms to accompany that pancake. Remember stuffed brinjal? Those who don’t like the veggie also fall in love with it when paired with chapati or rotti. That is the unique-ness of brinjal.

Badanekayi palya, as cooked in the kitchen with generous oil wafted a cozy aroma all around. The cubes of brinjal sauteed in normal temper along with onion and got cooked just in 10 minutes. They were soft and looked glossy after cooking. It’s the roasted peanuts and coconut that gave nice thick consistency to the curry. The green chillies, cumin and garlic when minced infuse authentic North Karnataka flavors. And I loved the color, richness and spice balanced taste. I am looking forward to recreate the magic again, hopefully this weekend. And how about you?
