1)Baingan ( Aubergine / Brinjal ) Pickle:
Liberally sprinkle the chopped baingan with salt and keep aside for 2 hours, then completely drain out all the water released from the salted baingan.
Grind the ginger, onion, Kashmiri chilli and turmeric powders and mix with the vinegar to make a smooth paste. Heat the oil in a large pan and saute the onion paste for about 4 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook till soft. Grind the fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds together to make a powder and add to the sauteed onion paste. Season with salt and cook for a few minutes more, then add in the seasoned baingan and cook till it is semi - soft. Let it cool, then store in an airtight container.
2)Prawns Pickle:
Season the prawns with turmeric powder and salt and let them rest for 15 minutes. Fry the seasoned prawns in a little oil for 3 - 4 minutes or till nearly done. Set them aside. Grind the cumin seeds, half of the onions and the Kashmiri chilli powder and mix in half cup of vinegar to make a paste. Heat the rest of the oil and saute the remaining onions till translucent. At this point, add the ground masala paste to the sauteed onions and stir for a further 15 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, remaining vinegar and adjust salt. Cook till the oil separates from the masalas and starts rising to the surface. Now, add the fried prawns and cook for a further 5 - 7 minutes. Let it cool, then store in an airtight container.
