Kathirikai Kaara Kuzhambu/Eggplant Tamarind Gravy

Serve this fingerlicking kaara kuzhambu with fried papads or hard boiled eggs, i can have it even everyday..Love this gravy that much..This gravy tastes super delicious even after a day..I used gingelly oil for making this gravy which gives a wonderful flavour to this super inviting gravy, i tempered this gravy with fenugreek seeds and ajwain seeds along with mustard seeds and handful of curry leaves, to be honest ajwain seeds gives a distinct flavour to this usual kuzhambu,we just loved it..You can carry very well this yummy gravy for your lunch thats why this gravy goes to my inbox as am hosting this month's HLI-Eggplant event by Kalyani..

2cups Tamarind extract
15nos Shallots (diced)
2nos Tomatoes (chopped)

1tsp Ajwain seeds
1tsp Fenugreek seeds
Few curry leaves
1tbsp Coriander powder
1tsp Chilly powder

Priya! good morning :)

I am back again after a long blogging break. Eggplant is something I like very much as a fried dish and a curry.

Will try this as your review looks attractive. ;)
