Yesterday, for the first time, I ran out of vegetables and did not know what to cook for lunch. In our home, rice and curry is a must for lunch. When I checked the fridge, 4 small Brinjal, 2 small tomatoes, 2 green chilies, 5 flakes of garlic, 1 small piece of ginger, few curry leaves and 1/2 cup of curd were there. I was very lazy to go out to get any fresh vegetables and some how I managed to make a curry out of all those ingredients. 1 big onion is also added with it.
Method of Preparation:
- Cut Brinjal into small slices, wash and keep aside
- Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil, crackle mustard seeds and curry leaves
- Add coarsely crushed ginger and garlic, saute until the raw smell disappears
- Add thinly sliced onion and green chilly and saute with little salt and a pinch of turmeric
- Add brinjal when onion becomes transparent
- Add 1 tsp of red chilly powder and 1/2 tsp of coriander powder, stir in well
- When it done well, stir in curd and salt to taste
- Serve it when it is cooled to the room temperature
- It is an ideal side dish for rice as well as Roti
