10:53 PM  Chamari  25 comments



INGREDIENTS:
250g eggplant – cut into small strips
½ red onion – cut into cubes
10 green chilies – cut it from the middle (optional)
2 – 3 cloves of garlic
2.5cm x 1 piece of ginger
20 – 25 dried sprats
8 – 10 curry leaves
1 tablespoon coriander power
1 ½ mustard seeds
Vinegar
2 – 3 teaspoons Sugar
Oil to fry
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan in medium heat.
When oil is ready, deep fry the eggplant strips till it gets little bit dark brown in color on both sides.
Drain it on a paper or kitchen tissues to remove excess oil.
Now add onions & green chilies and fry it for nearly 5 – 10 minutes & Drain it on a paper or kitchen tissues to remove excess oil.
Finally fry the dried sprats till you get a nice golden color and Drain it on a paper or kitchen tissues to remove excess oil.
Now with the help of a blender or a mortar and pestle (Wangediya) minced the ginger and garlic. When you get a fine paste now add mustard into the ginger garlic paste and minced it till the mustard seeds vanished . You will get a fine paste of ginger, garlic & mustard.
Now place the paste in a small bowl, and add coriander power, sugar, salt and vinegar and stir the mixture till sugar is dissolve.

SERVING:
You can have this eggplant salad with any kind of rice, noodles or even with any kind of bread.

NOTE:

1. We are placing the eggplant strips in turmeric & salt mix water bowl, so it won´t change the color of the eggplant strips.
2. While you are frying eggplant strips, remember to stir it so you can get an even color with every strip.
3. If you can´t find coriander power, just roast (Kabale badaganna) some coriander seeds and grind it till you get fine power.
4. Amount of sugar is depending on the amount of vinegar.

ENJOY!!!

@ Anonymous: 5 tablespoons vinegar will be enough for 250g of eggplant.

Thanks for uploading this rcp. Is there anything else to replace vinegar?

@Anonymous: You are welcome. I havn´t tried, but I heard Lemon juice is a very good substitute for vinegar. You can try :-). Hope it will come nicely :-)
For 1 tablespoon of vinegar use 1 tablespoon of lime juice

cut dates into small pieces and add to the brinjal moju

This is AMAZING! Thanks for the recipe - takes me right back to my holidays in Sri Lanka!

Thank you thank you thank you! We ate this while in Sri Lanka last winter and have been dying for it ever since! My husband and brother were very pleased! Having the video and hearing your voice made the recipe much clearer. Oh, and PS...your kitchen looks wonderful... It makes me want to come sit with a cup of coffee and learn from you first hand while we chat!

Thank you everyone For the comments. I will come back soon. BTW, Greears, you are the first one who put a comment saying my kitchen is clean. I know My old cooker is looks bit ugly, but I couldn't do anything because that time we lived in an apartment & this is how we got it. It was totally damaged it´s not old food or anything. But after some years I got a new one, may be you all can see it on other videos :-). I don´t worry about my cooker, I only think about my dishes & also the hygiene. But your comment gave me some courage again, Thanks a lot.
