[…] So I made it. First of all, it came out G*R*E*A*T and I highly recommend this curry to anyone who would like to try it. Because it is someone else’s recipe, I think the thing to do is to LINK to the website I found the recipe on, and drive traffic there. HERE is the recipe (and the photo with the egg.) […]

Indira, if you add milk instead of water, how do you think the curry’s gonna turn out?
Do let me know.
Tirelessly experimenting..

Hi Indira,

Thnx 4 writing back. I’ve frozen grated fresh coconut available all the time thnx to the Indian grocery stores around here.. the curry was yummy.. In fact my husband Ashok was asking for left overs the next day.. but we had polished it off the previous day itself:) I made it up to him though with your Mint Pulao & Potato Kurma recipes… both were amazing… since then I’ve made Cracked Wheat Upma, Okra Curry & today Ponganalu (called Paddu in Karnataka.. my hubby belongs to this state)… every recipe has been a major hit with my Hubby & me… we also tried the Ragi Malt & I agree it is a fabulous alternative to caffeineted drinks..

thnx a ton for these amazing recipes… they appeal to both my North Indian tastebuds & my hubby’s South Indian ones…

I’m going to be trying a lot more of your recipes

Indira replies:
That’s great, Meera. I am glad you liked these recipes. Thanks for letting me know and looking forward to reading more of your comments on my blogged recipes.:)

Hi,

I tried this recipe today.. I must say it was fabulous.. my husband & I just loved it… I used purple brinjals instead of green ones, replaced the dry coconut powder with fresh grated coconut & I used chopped cilantro leaves instead of making a paste with Ginger & garlic… this curry is just amazing… I’m going to try some more of your recipes

Indira replies:
Thanks Meera.
I didn’t have fresh coconut when I prepared this recipe.The curry tastes even much better with fresh coconut, isn’t it?
Do let me know how you like other recipes if you try. Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the mouth watering recipes; All your baigan recipes are based on the small ones (like we get in India) The ones I get them from the local grocery stores are BIG - and this time I even found a WHITE BIG EGGPLANT. Could you post some recipes for BIG brinjals - including the thin ‘n’ long purple brinjals. Thanks again.

Shammi..I can understand the hatred for purple ones, but these green beauties are nothing like the purple ones(tastewise).They will make you a convert if you give them a chance.:)-
My photos, fabulous, I don’t think so. They are ok to look at, mostly mediocre. My camera is Nikon coolpix 5400. I am not a professional, but Vijay is. But he works only with real thing(non digital), kind of purist.

Gini..You can buy them at Thai or Vietnamese grocery shops, sometimes at Indian grocery. They are called ‘Thai Eggplants’ here.

Mika…I googled, they are the same. Go down this Cook’s Thesaurus link, there is a photo of sorghum flour, its many names.

I am not sure if sorghum and jowar are the same. Jowar roti is popular in Karnataka. Wonder if sorghum roti is a kannada recipe…
