Well, I had already posted a simple brinjal curry recipe which is more of a gravy kind. The one I am posting right now is a semi-solid curry and it goes really well with hot steamed rice. Again this one is from the cookbook called “MUMMY” and of course, one of my favourites. My mother calls it Vankaya(brinjal in telugu) Iguru but to put it simple, I would rather call it Brinjal Onion Curry after its two main ingredients. If you are looking to lose weight, brinjal is a good choice as it a low calorie vegetable and has its share of nutritional benefits.Lets move on to the recipe now.
