Atul Kochhar Instagram – Bringing a very interesting and my favourite vegetable recipe: Chettiyar brinjal curry 🍆😊. It’s a popular South Indian dish and made very regularly in every household down South of India. I always love to make different recipes with brinjal and here it is.
Ingredients
8 small brinjals, chopped into small cubes
2 medium tomatoes, cubed
2 large potatoes, chopped into small cubes
2 medium onions, finely chopped
10-12 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
2 tbsp grated fresh coconut
1 tsp poppy seeds
10 dried red chillies
3 tbsp coriander seeds
For the seasoning: 1-inch piece cinnamon, 10 curry leaves, 1 tsp fennel seeds
2 tbsp oil
2-3 cups of water
Salt to taste
Method
Make a powder by grinding dried red chillies and coriander seeds. Make a paste by grinding grated coconut and poppy seeds, adding a little water if needed. Set both aside.
In a pan, heat the oil and add the seasoning ingredients. When fennel seeds start to sizzle and pop, add onion and garlic. Sauté till onion begins to brown, then add ground coriander and chilli powder and sauté for two-three minutes, adding a drizzle of water if too dry. Add potatoes, brinjals and salt and sauté for about five minutes, until the brinjal begins to soften. Add poppy seed and coconut paste and mix well. Stir in tomatoes. Add water, bring to a boil and turn down the heat to a simmer until cooked. Garnish with coriander leaves before serving.
