Tips
1.Brinjal: Brinjals which are purple, white and thorny and which are found in Rayalaseema are ideal to make this Curry. But I am making this Curry using the purple Brinjals available in Hyderabad.
2.Masala Paste: The paste should be ground fine for the Curry to taste better. Curry should be cooked on a low flame so that the Brinjals absorb the Gravy and the Oil separates.
3.This Curry needs more Oil than the regular Curries as the name itself indicates, this is an Oil Brinjal Curry.a
