BRINJAL GRAVY RECIPE (WITHOUT TAMARIND)
This brinjal gravy recipe i got from a very good friend of mine which they used to call as “Kathrikkai Puli illa
Kuzhambhu”, which means Brinjal gravy without tamarind. For a person like me who hates to extract tamarind
juice, this type of gravies are really most welcome. So i asked her the recipe and it sounded very simple and
tried the next week and it turned out so well and i enjoyed with hot rice along with Green peas curry.
In this recipe the brinjals are cooked in the water which is used to rinse the rice. After a quick wash of uncooked
rice take out the second water which is used to wash the rice, which we normally discard.
INGREDINETS:
BRINJALS(EGGPLANTS) 56 NO
WATER FROM WASHED RICE 2 CUPS
OIL 1 TSP
SHALLOTS 4
CORIANDER SEEDS 1 TBLSP

The water which we use gives a nice creamy texture to the gravy and its quite healthy too.
