Brinjal is made into different kind of curries across India. And it is a much-loved vegetable. This Brinjal malai Curry is one of the popular recipes. The Brinjal Creamy Curry is a Lucknow Special recipe and makes one want to eat more and more. It goes very well with Rotis, Chapathis, Puris or with Baghara Rice.
Tips
-
The Curry tastes better if the Brinjals are tender.
-
It is enough for sliced Brinjals to fry up to 60% in Oil. The rest will get cooked in the gravy. Only then will the Brinjal absorb the flavours well.
-
I have used some Red Mirchi Powder in the Curry for colour. As such, Green Chilli spice tastes better than red Mirchi Powder in this Curry.
-
This Curry tastes better if you use both Ghee and Oil. But you could use just Oil too.
-
Brinjal Curries taste good only if there is adequate Oil.
-
I had fried Onions ready, so I used them. You could fry the Onions and make the Curry in the same Oil.
