Brinjal rasavangi is my recent try in kuzhambu varieties. Brinjal is my most favourite vegetable. But I am not able to make brinjal recipes often in my kitchen because Sendhil & Raksha are not fond of it. So I used to cook some interesting kathirikai recipes whenever my in-laws visit my place. This time, I tried Rasavangi recipe learning from my MIL. Usually we make Rasavangi using Ash gourd/Poosanikkai. But I tried with the freshly bought eggplant from Salem. It was too good & I loved it a lot. I am sure brinjal lovers would love this gravy for rice. Do try it !
