Uppinakayi Brinjal Pickle is a bold and flavorful South Indian delicacy made from tender brinjals (eggplants) and a rich blend of traditional spices. This pickle is known for its tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet notes that develop through natural fermentation and careful seasoning. The brinjals are typically cut into chunks or kept whole (baby brinjals), then marinated in a mixture of mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt, all brought together with cold-pressed sesame oil or gingelly oil.

What sets this pickle apart is its deep umami taste and the way it matures over time, enhancing its complexity and depth. Often enjoyed with hot rice, curd rice, or dosas, Uppinakayi Brinjal Pickle is a staple in many Karnataka households, offering a nostalgic punch of homemade flavor in every bite. Perfect for spice lovers and fans of traditional Indian pickling craft.
