BRINJAL/EGGPLANT CURRY
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 go to Muthu's 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...;D .
Ingredients
- Brinjal -- 5 nos. (I used the brinjal available here long..purple coloured, 1 no.)
- Onion -- 2 medium
- Tomato -- 1 big
- Green chilli -- 2 nos.
- Sambar/curry powder -- 1 tsp
- Turmeric -- 1/4 tsp
- Corn flour -- 1/2 tsp
- Chopped coriander leaves -- 1 tblsp
- Curry leaves -- 1 sprig
Tempering Items
- Mustard - 1/2 tsp
- Urad dal - 1/2 tsp
- Channa dal - 1/2 tsp
- Oil - 2 tsp
 |  |
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.
- Add 1 1/4 cup of water and add turmeric,coriander leaves and curry powder to it and bring to boil.
- Add the 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.
- Granish with chopped coriander leaves...goes well with plain rice and variety rice!!
Time took approximately...
- Chopping onions and tomatoes --3 minutes
- Cutting Brinjal - 1 minute
- Till Frying onions and tomatoes- 4 minutes
- Rest of cooking time - 5-7 minutes
- Total - 13 - 15 Minutes..:))

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.

Thanx for the compliments
Hi Raks,
First try your version of this curry and I will visit Muthu's Curry soon.
I live in singapore.
I like the open kitchen concept in Muthu's curry.
Lovely entry, thanks for sharing this 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!!!
Nice and simple recipe. Never heard about muthu's curry. will try it sometime. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou kribha for ur comments
