I apologize to all those brinjal haters out there for posting so many brinjal recipes but these are quick and easy and one of the vegetables that are available at all times for me. Also, I love brinjals :D
This one is a traditional Tamil Brahmin Recipe except that I made a slight twist in it and added pureed onions. You can omit that and you will get a dry fry dish. I wanted something that was slightly soft and not fried.What I Used:
Brinjal / eggplant - 2 cups, cubed
Onion - 1 small, ground to a paste or chopped fine
Mustard seeds - 1/8 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp (preferably gingelly/sesame oil)
Salt - to taste
To dry-roast and grind:
Dhania / malli - 2 tsp (or 3 tsp dhania powder)
Bengal gram / Chana dal / kadala parippu - 1 tbsp
Urad dal / uzhunnu parippu / uzhutham paruppu - 1 tsp
Dried red chillies - 4, adjust to taste
Curry leaves - a fewHow I Made It:
Serve hot with steamed white rice and spicy baby potatoes.
1. Dry roast the list of ingredients until golden brown, cool, grind and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan. temper mustard seeds and lightly saute the onion paste. Then add the brinjal pieces and fry until they turn colour and get soft. Add salt.
3. Mix in the ground spice mixture and fry well for 3 to 4 mins. Remove from fire.

looks great Nags. I like brinjal in some forms.. like baingan bartha and curry with podi.
I don't usually eat vegan, but this looks so good I don't think I would miss the meat at all! Hopefully I can find all the ingredients around my place.

I am one of those few brinjal lovers and am always looking for new recipes to try...thanks for posting, this one looks simple and delicious!
I am not a hater, but I only like very few Brinjal dishes... I have never made anything with onion paste... I always chop them fine in similar recipes, but next time I'll try grinding onions for a different texture...
I adore egplants, Nags! This looks delicious! :)
