Ennai Kathirikkai Porial (Brinjal Fry)

This is my all time comfort food. We went on a unplanned temple visit and we all were so tired after coming back home. Every one was hungry but no one had energy to prepare anything. So I ended up preparing a simple comfort meal containing Rasam, Ennai Kathirikkai Porial and few pappads. Everyone enjoyed this meal and finished off everything.

Ingredients

Brinjal - 1/2 kg

Garlic - 20-30 pods

Sambar powder - 2-3 tsp

Salt - as required

Mustard - 1 tsp

Urad dhal split - 1 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves and Coriander Leaves - Few

Method

Cut the brinjal Lengthwise and put it in water.

In a kadai, add 1 tbsp of oil and add the seasoning items.

Then add the garlic and saute for few seconds. Then add the brinjal, sambar powder and salt.

Sprinkle some water over it and close with a lid. Saute well in between, so that it doesn't get burnt. Adjust the water until the brinjal is done.

Finally add the leaves. I used more coriander leaves, this will add up the aroma.

So simple yet delicious dish.

I am sending this to FIL-Brinjal conducted by Sanghi.
