BM #91 Week 1 Day 2 - 

In this series of homey and comforting meals presented in the form a thali, here is yet another meal with all my personal favorites (barring the Vankaya/Eggplant which I am allergic to).

Featured in the platter/thali are Dosakaya Pappu, Mamidikaya Menthi Baddhalu, Vankaya Kothimeera Kaaram, Apple Pachadi, Badam Kheer, Rice and Yogurt.

This eggplant curry is the first one I learnt from my mother-in-law after convincing her that I was indeed allergic to eggplant. I wonder why this has never been posted in my blog in the past 8 odd years. My husband and kids love this version of the curry and I occasionally make it wearing gloves and the accompanying drama :).

Eggplants, sliced about 8-10

  4. I love this flavourful eggplant curry when served with some hot piping rasam rice. Again a fabulous side dish for rice or rotis.

     
  5. The curry looks awesome and eggplant is one veggie I love so much. The whole platter has turned out so tempting Harini..

     
  6. Eggplant is my favorite and can have it in any form, this curry sounds simple yet very flavorful to pair with roti or rice.

     
  7. very flavorful curry with the spices - though I'm not much of an eggplant fan can replace with other veggies I am sure
