uJUMP TO RECIPE

Always soak chopped brinjals in salt water to avoid bitterness and discoloration. Use tender long purple brinjals for a better texture. Fry the curry leaves until crisp for a burst of flavor. You can dry roast peanuts and garlic if the curry masala isn’t ready. This curry thickens as it rests, so slightly undercook the masala if serving later. Add a few drops of lemon juice at the end if you like a tangy edge.
