Directions
Brinjal (Eggplant) Curry,This aubergine bhaji recipe has won rave reviews from my South Indian in-laws, who have very discerning palates when it comes to authentic currys. This dish can either be used as a side dish, or as a vegetarian main dish. It’s easy, delicious and a great way to introduce different veggies to your kids.,This was fantastic! Thank you so much Katie for sharing… I’ve been looking for new ways to cook with eggplant and this was perfect. I went on the conservative side for the cayenne, but next time I’ll be doing the full 1/2 tsp. Perfect tasting and I served it with naan over a bed of rice.,This curry was delicious. I tweaked it a bit, but not much??

Put the Eggplant Pieces Into a Strainer and Sprinkle Liberally With Salt. Place a Small Plate on Top of the Eggplant, and a Weight on Top of the Plate- This Process Draws the Excess Water Out of the Eggplant, and It Won't Be Overly Salty. Leave For at Least 30 Minutes. |
