BRINJAL PEPPER KUZHAMBU | BRINJAL RECIPES

Brinjal-pepper-kuzhambu
     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!

INGREDIENTS:
Brinjal 8-10 nos
Tamarind Small gooseberry sized
Curry leaves 1 sprig
Oil 2 tblsp
To roast and grind:
Channa dhal 2 tblsp
Urad dhal 1 tsp
Pepper 1/2 tblsp(adjust as per...)
Red chilli 2-3 nos.
Coconut 2- 4 tblsp
To temper:
Mustard 1 tsp
Urad dhal 1/2 tsp
Channa dhal 1/2 tsp
Oil/Ghee 1 tsp

Method:

  1. Soak tamarind in hot water and extract the tamarind juice and keep aside.

Notes

  • You can adjust the coconut amount. The more you add, it becomes flavourful, the less you add, it becomes spicy!

Hey Rak's
What is kulambu?
Am confused.
Do you know what you call in Telugu?
Is it like Pulusu or daal?
Brinjal is my hot favorite.
