Brinjal Coriander leaves curry


I used Thai eggplants/brinjals to prepare this delicious no onion curry. Want to add cilantro/coriander leaves to your diet? here is a wonderful curry that goes well with white rice or even rotis. Infact, I used it as a bread spread too. Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:

Brinjals - 6 - preferably green brinjals (Thai green egglplant)

Oil - 1 teaspoon

Grind together the following adding half cup water

Coriander leaves - 1 bunch

green chillies - 2

Ginger - half inch

Salt

Asafoetida powder

Coconut - dry or fresh - 1 tablespoon (I used the desiccated coconut)

Method:

Dice the brinjal and add it to water as and when you cut.

Heat oil in a kadai.

Drain water from the eggplant, (leave away the seeds that are in the water) and add the diced brinjal and fry until half cooked stirring occasionally.

Add the ground coriander paste and mix well.

Cook covered until the all the moisture is absorbed. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the kadai.

That's it. The curry is ready. Serve with white rice and ghee.
