Brinjal curry recipe

November 13, 2007 by Raks Anand 43 Comments /

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.

Ingredients

  • Brinjal —  5
  • Onion — 1
  • Tomato — 3
  • Green chilli —  2
  • Curry powder  —  1 & 1/2 tsp
  • Garam masala powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric — 1/4 tsp
  • Corn flour — 1/2 tsp
  • Chopped coriander leaves  — 1 tbsp
  • Curry leaves  —  1 sprig

To temper

  • Mustard       – 1/2 tsp
  • Oil              – 2 tbsp

Method

  • Chop onions,tomatoes and slit the green chillies…keep aside.
  • Cut brinjals into medium sized pieces as shown in picture and keep immersed in water till you cook.
  • Heat a kadai with oil and add the tempering items,followed by onions,chillies,curry leaves and fry till onions are translucent.
  • Add tomatoes with salt and cook till tomatoes turns just mushy.
  • Pour 1 & 1/4 cup of water and add turmeric,coriander leaves and curry powder to it and bring to boil.
  • In goes cut brinjal , stir well and cook covered for 5-7 minutes…till brinjal gets cooked soft..
  • At the end if needed add corn flour to thicken the gravy.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves…goes well with plain rice and variety rice!!

 

Time took approximately – 25 mins
This dish I am sending to Grindless gravies event … conducted by our blogger friend SRA….from the blog When my soup came alive!!!Still there’s more than a month’s time..Then too I can’t wait to send this to her event “Grindless gravies”.

    Thankyou SRA..,easycrafts,shella,rajitha,shanthibanu for your comments…
    Asha,
    I think I made you understand wrong…Muthu’s curry is name of the restaurant and They call this brinjal curry as brinjal Masala…
    Thats what I meant…Hope now its clear…:l

    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.

    That’s a great idea: using a tiny bit of cornstarch to make the gravy thick! I have to try this soon.

    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!!!

    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!
