Spicy Brinjal Curry, Mangalorean Recipes

Brinjal Curry is full of flavors from aromatic spices, coconut, onion, tomatoes, turmeric powder, ginger and garlic. For this dish coconut, onion and spices are roasted and then grinded into fine paste. This gives a unique flavor to this dish.

This dish is my mom's favourite but for me its Stuffed Brinjal(Bharwa Baingan). This dish can be served with chapatti, roti or rice. Its bit time consuming to prepare this dish but the final result is worth the time.
