BRINJAL PEPPER KUZHAMBU | BRINJAL RECIPES

     Brinjal pepper kuzhambu is one of the best recipes I learnt from my mom. This is my bro’s favourite recipe too! If my mom makes this, she wont be left with any gravy in the bowl for herself, poor her! We eat twice and empty the bowl!! That much flavourful and a spicy treat!  Do try it yourself to taste this gravy, it is quite different from the usual pepper kuzhambu recipes you find everywhere!
