Ennai Kathirikai Kulambu Recipe

This is a dish which makes my mouth water when I think about it. Such a flavourful dish, but if you are in diet like me, stay away from this. Because it has lots of oil in it.But I love to make this for my amma, because she go crazy for brinjals.

What a loving daughter can do more than this. I made this couple of weeks before and amma ate this for 2 days keeping in the fridge. 

About Ennai Kathirikai Kuzhambu Recipe

Whole brinjal cooked in a tangy tamarind sauce which taste so good with hot rice. I like to freshly roasted masala in the kuzhambu which makes it taste amazing. 

Actually this dish taste way better the next day. The truth is any dish that has coconut or roasted spices in it taste great the next day.
