Brinjal and peanut together as curry, i gave a trial to this delectable combination since i was thinking a few days back when i have tasted brinjals stuffed with sesame seed powder, instead of stuffing the brinjals i thought of preparing this dish by adding directly the roasted and coarsely grounded peanuts to the curry...Initially i was quite anxious about my family coz my H doesnt like brinjals that much and coming to peanuts in curries that cant be exist according to him...I always want to try many different combinations since like the creativity in cooking, even with simple ingredients...I prepared this brinjal and peanut curry with fingers crossed and served with hot rice and tomato pappu for yesterday's lunch...Oh my god, he loved it, wat a pleasant surprise when he said 'hey this brinjal curry tastes too good with peanuts', needless to say how i would have been happy coz i dont like trash my creative works..hehe!! I enjoyed having this delicious combination which was really tasty and a prefect pair for rice dishes, i can definitely say that one of the best curry i have prepared with brinjals..
10nos Purple brinjals
1no Onion (chopped)
5nos Garlic cloves (minced)
1tsp Ginger (crushed)
3/4tsp Red chilly powder
1/2cup Roasted Peanuts
1/2tsp Mustard seeds+Urad dal
1/4tsp Cumin seeds
Salt
Oil
Few curry leaves
Cut the brinjals as medium size slices lengthwise..meanwhile in a blender, grind coarsely the roasted peanuts and keep aside...Heat enough oil and add immediately mustard seeds, urad dal, cumin seeds and let them splutters, add the chopped onion, minced garlic and crushed ginger immediately, saute everything until the onions turns transculent, now add the brinjal slices, salt and stir until the brinjals turns tender..add the red chilly powder to the cooking brinjal slices and cook everything in simmer until the oil get separates from brinjal curry(dont add water while cooking, keeping in simmer itself will cook the brinjals well), finally add the grounded peanut and curry leaves, give a stir and put off the stove...
Serve hot as side dish for rice and rotis!
