Today's recipe is with egg plant / brinjal / vazhuthananga / baigan. A very easy curry served along with rice and can be prepared within minutes. Brinjal is my husband's favorite veg, but for me it is just opposite. So all the time i used to prepare brinjal masala fry or stir fry, so that i can adjust somehow. Yesterday he asked me to prepare an egg plant masala curry same like my Goan fish curry. At first, i refused but later unwillingly i just prepared. It was a great day for me as the dish tastes better than fish curry. For the first time, i fell in love with brinjal / egg plant. So friends, those who hate the taste of brinjal, please try out this recipe. Sure, damn sure...u will crave this more. Try this recipe and do let me know the feedback.
