    Brinjal Curry for biryani

    Biryani and brinjal curry are an awesome combination. In most Muslim households they will always serve biryani with brinjal curry. Last week I have posted Brijni rice, I served my brinji rice with this Brinjal curry. This recipe is from my aunt who taught me how to prepare the perfect brinjal curry in Muslim style.  

    Today being the last day of Lent I am posting this Biryani Brinjal Curry .So guess what tomorrow I will be posting a biryani recipe for Easter celebration .

    Ingredients

    How to Prepare Brinjal Curry for Biryani

    1) In a pan add in oil, wait till the oil heats up. Add in the mustard seeds, Pepper corns, curry leaves and sliced onions, fry till the onions turn soft.

    2) Then add in tomato and cook till it leaves oil

    3. Next add in the ginger garlic paste sauté it well till the raw smell leaves.

    4.Next add in the brinjals and mix well.

    5. Add in the spice powders. Chili powder, Coriander powder, Turmeric powder and the salt and mix well.

    6. Soak the tamarind in water for about 20 mins and squeeze out the water. Add in the tamarind water in the pan and cook till the brinjals become soft.

    7. Next Dry roast the peanuts, Sesame seeds and coconut in a pan and cool down then grind that in to a coarse powder. Add the ground powder to the brinjal gravy and mix well.

    8. Allow it to simmer for two minutes and switch off the flame.

    Tips & Variations

    • You can skip coconut while grinding if you don’t prefer.
    • Always use gingelly oil for this recipe as it’s an important ingredient which gives the authentic taste.
    • I used white sesame seeds for this recipe. Black sesame seeds could also be used.
