Bom Chount Recipe, Kashmiri Baigan Seb Ki Sabzi

Bom Chount- A delicious and flavourful apple and brinjal curry/baigan aur seb ki sabzi -a Kashmir specialty

Bom Chount- Kashmiri food is very simple yet flavourful. Lots of whole spices, ghee and saffron are used in their daily routine food .The spices used are warm and spicy like cloves ,dried ginger ,asafoetida ,cinnamon etc and to balance the heat and flavour fennel is adding in most of the recipes.

Yogurt is also used in many dishes in Kashmiri cuisine. I love to cook Kashmiri recipes as most of the vegetarian kashmiri recipes are cooked without the use of onion and garlic.

Apple and brinjal is not a common combination in Northern India so when I first heard about this I was little skeptical about the flavour and taste of this curry but when I tried it every one loves the mild and simple flavors .Green apples adds avery nice and  tangy taste to the curry .

It is better to choose small brinjals for making this kashmiri baigan aur seb ki sabzi  but you can also make it with large size brinjals but try to choose seedless ones or one with few seeds.

Granny smith apples are used in it as they are tart but you can also add some mango powder or lime juice in case you cant find granny smith and want to use other variety but avoid using sweet variety of apples.

  • Nadru Yakhni
  •  Chokh Vangun 
  • Apple and raw mango chutney
  • Mooji chatin .

      I very well know this fact but as Quince is not available everywhere so I simplified it by using green apple . I have updated the post though.
