BRINJAL RASAVANGI/KATHIRIKAI RASAVANGI RECIPE


kathirikai rasavangi

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 !
