There is a restaurant called "Muthu's curry" here in Singapore.where we had a chance to try this "brinjal Masala"(how they named the dish).Even my husband who doesn't likes Brinjal said it tastes good.And in this muthu's curry we can find more of Chinese people visiting as a regular customers. So if any one who in future have a chance to visit Singapore, don't forget to taste this curry.
I tried to make this curry after tasting this in that restaurant.It came out not exactly, but similar to that. My hubby too certified its good.

I lived in Singapore for 6 yrs and always associated Muthu's Curry restaurant to the fish head curry that it is famous for.. so have never stepped in. Had i known that they had a great brinjal masala then, it would've been a diff. story. Thank you Raks for for this great recipe.

Hi Raks,
First try your version of this curry and I will visit Muthu's Curry soon.
I live in singapore.
I like the open kitchen concept in Muthu's curry.
Lovely entry, thanks for sharing this recipe.
Nupur
That's a great idea: using a tiny bit of cornstarch to make the gravy thick! I have to try this soon.
RAKS KITCHEN
Nupur,
Try and then let me know...As we use tomatoe and sambhar powder and boiling for some time, the gravy becomes thick by itself..at last when we add this
"tiny bit corn flour",It sure will do its job well;D...Even if u cant find that immediately,after it cools down surely it had that effect!!!
Kribha

I am not a great fan of brinjal, but my husband loves it.. So I make it often.. And I stumbled upon this when I was searching for new varieties. It turned out really well, he loved it 🙂 And even I had 🙂

This is the best recipe ever. So easy, quick and ALWAYS a huge success. My girlfriend from South India exclaimed "It tastes just like home!!" when I first made this, so this is a regular in our house. She took some to her (very picky!) colleague at work who said "it tastes like an Indian housewife made this".
What can I say... brilliant recipe. If an untalented European like me can impress with this curry, anyone can. it's a 100 % foolproof.
Thank you Raks!
