Vazhuthananga Mezhukkupuratti(Brinjal Fry)

I wasn’t aware of the mouth watering taste of Vazhuthananga(Brinjal) before marriage.This was the vegetable we hated most in our home.However i tried cooking this vegetable just for Deepu and it was according to his recipe.Of course i’ve added something from my side too… Now i love brinjal in every forms whether it be stuffed,roasted,fried,bhartha…even i add this in sambar and avial as well.Brinjal Mezhukkupuratti is something which i am very crazy about.The recipe is quite simple,but it gives a remarkable taste.I simply adore the flavour when brinjal,onion,chillies and oil combined together.This dish will almost melt in our mouth. Goes well with chappathi,rice..even you can have it just like that.Ingredients:- Eggplant cut into bite sized pieces -1 Onion chopped -1 Chopped garlic -1 tsp Red chillies -4 or 5 Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp Curry Leaves -a few Salt – to taste Oil – as needed Method:- Heat oil in a pan and add onions,chillies and curry leaves into it.Saute for few minutes and add garlic,turmeric powder and salt.Stir well till the raw smell of onion and turmeric goes off.Finally add the eggplant pieces and saute well. Simmer for around half an hour stirring continuously.Switch off the heat when its well done. Posted by Annita
