I adapted this recipe from Sailu’s space and totally in love with it. However, I have tweaked the recipe based on my way of cooking and here hoes the recipe for Brinjal Poppy Seeds Curry.

    The specialty of the curry is that is doesn’t use onions, tomatoes or coconut however its still rich with the essence from poppy seeds. It is sure a delicacy.
