Yummmmm !!! is not the word. This is so good. If you are searching for the right brinjal gravy to go with the Biriyani, this is the one and I have no doubt you will stop searching for the right recipe for brinjal gravy.
Here's the recipe
What you need:
Small brinjal : 7-8
Onions : 2 medium sized
Green Chillies : 2-3
Tomatoes : 2
Tamarind : size of a lemon or more if you like it tangy
Poppy seeds : 1 table spoon
Sesame Seeds : 1 table spoon
Peanuts : 7-8
Urad Dhal : 1 teaspoon
Chilli Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Corriander Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Tumeric powder- 1/4 tea spoon
Mustard seeds 1/4 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Curry leaves
Sesame Oil : depends on how healthy you want to be. I add it well , when I have to feed guests. A compliment from them will take me longer way than a healthy food ! So, its up to you !
Use only Sesame oil to get the actual taste. Do not compromise !
Method:
1) Slit the brinjal from the end to the stem. I retain the stem. I love the look of it. Your choice !
2) Fry it for a few minutes till its 1/4 done in oil. I deep fry .( unhealthy I know , you can micro wave it if you want or add it just as it is to the curry)
3) Dry roast the Poppy seeds, Sesame Seeds and Peanuts. No oil. Make sure you don't burn it.
4) Take a kadai, add sesame oil 2-3 table spoons, splutter muster seeds, urad dhaal, add onions, green chillies and sauté well, add curry leaves then add tomatoes and the powders . sauté well till the oil is seen.
5) Add the fried brinjals. Cook in medium flame.
6) Grind the dry roasted ingredients, you may add water according to need to grind it.
7) Add the paste to the gravy that is cooking. Let cook for another 5-7 minutes. Finally add the tamarind pulp into the gravy, cook till it starts boiling.
Your curry is ready ! Enjoy it with nice hot biriyani or rotis :-)
