After reading some reviews, I was skeptic to try this dish but after cooking… wow it was so good with rice. I didn’t even take any side dish. This one will be in my favorites list.
Hi Mullai,
Once again….amazing recipe…the best brinjal curry
I have had so far.
I tried Vangi bath with the green brinjal and realized
that the veggie is a bit sweet and needs a lot of spices.
I just came across this recipe and felt it is the best
for this brinjal.

Thanks for the great recipe
I tried this a few times before with a recipe I have known but I wasn’t satisfied. This time I tried ur recipe and boy! was it yummy 🙂 As we eat light spicy food, I used a little less quantity of all the spices you mentioned and both my husband and I loved it. Thanks a bunch for this great recipe. U r awesome 🙂

I tried it without SESAME seeds (it doesnt suit my body)but I added one tsp of Poppy seeds and it came out very good.This was my first ever attempt in preparing this dish.Thnx MULLAI 🙂
Cheers.
Hi Mullai
This is soo tempting.But we dont get green brinjal here.Can I use Black one?
Rajhari, Any colour will work.. green, purple, white, pink.. but try to use small tender ones (brinjal type) and not the huge chinese or Japanese eggplants, they are kind of too strong and bitter tasting for this recipe. Thanks.
Yes, ofcourse. you can use green or black. I vl say black tastes better than green. cheers..
i have seen just now how to cook and all.. i’ll try to cook bec my hubby likes it..thank u
Hey this is my fav dish & ‘m going to try for today eveng to surprise my hubby and will be right back to post my comments. Plz wish me gudluck for the mouth smacking taste to be same.
I tried this curry yesterday.. it turned out very bitter.. I had put exactly the quantity mentioned above.. wondering what would have gone wrong. Please suggest.
Pls register, this is a tangy gravy as such and if your quality of tamarind is too strong then this could happen.
just now saw it and have to try it.i will tell u once i had done it.anyhow thank u for the curry
I tried this recipe for the first time and it is very tasty. Thanks Mullai.

Hello Sailu,
If i have to make double amount of the recipe then do i need to add twice the amount of items everything specified in this recipe ?
I am inviting over 12 members for Dinner. Pleasde let me know how to make in larger quantities
Thank you in advance!
Mala
Dear Mala,
This recipe serves 3 to 4 people, so calculate….. probably 3 times the quantity. BTW who is Sailu?
Awesome Recipe!
I ate this curry only a handful of times before at some friend’s place. I prepared it today for the first time and boy it tasted really well. Thanks a bunch for the recipe.
Got my mixer so I tried this…Although it tastes good,I could feel the odd smell of peanut, and it was bit bitter… I dun kno where it went wrong… I peeled off the peanut skin. Also removed the tiny bitter part of peanut… so it didnt cause the bitter taste I suppose…
hi manoo,
sometimes the brinjals do give a bitter taste…..
oh is it…. i luv brinjals… but nvr found it bitter so I was scratchin my head to find out why my curry was bit bitter….. anyway thnx ss
