Hot, sweet, Goan brinjal pickle /Easier way, no deep frying/ Homemade brinjal pickle/वांग्याचे लोणचे

[@shirishmhatre629]

Can we store the pickle outside the refrigerator?

[@PataCake]

Shirish, the pickle will stay good outside the fridge for just around 3-4 days. That's because I've reduced the amount of oil and vinegar which is much more in the traditional pickle recipe. It was necessary to use more oil in the old days. But since we have fridges nowadays, I've demonstrated a healthier version which will keep well for several months when preserved in colder conditions.

Hi, I made this Brinjal pickle today, WOW oh WOW it's fantastic! I am English and live in France, the french on the whole detest curry & spicy food. I have to travel many miles to purchase this pickle but never ever again! Thank you sooooo much for your recipe, had to use 8 TBsns, demerara sugar (french do not have dark brown sugar) + 1 heaped teaspoon of treacle to replace the jaggery and to give good colour, it worked amazingly well. Many thanks again xx For anyone who's interested half a cup of oil/vinegar is 120 ml.

[@PataCake]

Thank you for the appreciation. And so glad your pickle turned out great!

[@maureensamson4863]

Thanks for sharing this recipe ! It's and old favourite of mine and brought back memories of over 50 years ago , when I consumed countless jars of Ferns brinjal pickle ! Unfortunately, this soon went off the market and nobody else seemed to make something similar . I purchased a book by a Goan lady and tried out her recipe ... the cup she used seemed to be much smaller than the standard 240 or 250 ml measuring cup I used ... the result wasn't what I expected !! An English teacup is huge ! So it's always good to know what measures used before making any new recipe !

Hi Aunty Veena, I'm Goan myself, but I've never made brinjal pickle before. Aunty, I've just completed my first batch of pickle. I used all your measurements exactly and it has turned out absolutely authentic and delicious. It's cooling down now & then I'll pop it into the fridge, but I'm so excited that I couldn't wait to tell you. Aunty, thank you so very much for teaching me how to make this pickle. I am so happy and proud to have learnt this Goan classic. May God bless you abundantly Aunty & thank you once again for teaching me (& the world) how to prepare authentic & delicious foods. 😘😘😘

[@PataCake]

Glad you liked the video, Shashi. Unfortunately, the fat and large brinjals have too many seeds and are too thick. The tiny dark purple brinjals could be an option, though. You could also try cutting the large brinjals into quarters lengthwise and then slicing off the part with seeds on the top of each slice. Then cut each quarter slice lengthwise into three parts and take it from there. That should work.

[@PataCake]

You need to add that much vinegar for the quantity of brinjal in the recipe, Merlyn. In fact, I've reduced the oil and vinegar (from the traditional recipe) because for this recipe, the pickle has to be stored in the fridge and so there's no need for extra oil or vinegar. Keep all the ingredient proportions exactly as they are in my recipe.

Thank you, Charmaine, for appreciating my video. I don't know where you live. But if you live in India, and want to store any kind of pickle at room temperature, you will need to add a higher proportion of oil and salt, and also vinegar if this ingredient is included in the original recipe. As for this brinjal pickle, it's best to store it in the fridge.

I share the same name with you. For sure I will go for it. Can we avoid sweetness as we both have sugar concern.

[@PataCake]

Yes, we're both Veena! This pickle is traditionally hot and sweet. But you could reduce the jaggery, instead of avoiding it completely. (The balance of flavours would be upset if sweetness is removed entirely.) Or maybe, if it's OK with you, you could use a sweetener instead?
