I stumbled across the green aggplant at Whole Foods …..I was planning on making my usual brinjal curry, but was not too sure how different this green variety was from its purple conterpart.

Now the store called them Thai eggplant so I was looking for Thai recipies and found your blog! Ain’t I glad,I will definately try one of your recipies.
Hmmm…. Ratatouille, cant make it to Pike Place for all ingredients, so
Vankaya with Jeelakarra Karam it will be!

Hi all,

I am happy to read that you liked this recipe. Thanks for your lovely comments.

Thanks Latha!
Seattle is a beautiful city, isn’t it?:) I am so glad to hear that you had lovely time here.

Hi Sushma: Poppy seeds are a common ingredient at our homes back in India and traditionally added both in sweets and savory preparations in Andhra. We’ve never faced any side effects. Actually it’s known for cooling effect so regularly used during summer times to thicken the curries/pulusu preparations.
You can prepare this curry without poppy seeds as well, if you are hesitant. Hope this helps.

Thanks very much Madhavi! I greatly appreciate your kind support.

Indira, I just mailed a check to this cause. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I hope together we can provide enough money for seeds purchase.

Indira,

As usual your dishes look very good. I was wondering about poppy seeds you use. I remember my grandma telling me once that poppy seeds are not too good for the body. I tried looking that up and I couldn’t see much about them being bad. Do you know about that?

Have a wonderful summer!
Sushma

I loved the movie too.I like your very interesting version of ratatouille. I would say there are as many ways to make this dish as their are cooks making it!
