Kathirikai Kara Kuzhambu Recipe

This one gets lot of heat from chilles. You get the unique flavour from roasting the spices. I always love to make dishes from freshly roasted spices. And for your information. My mum who is a Brinjal lover had this curry in fridge and ate it for 2 days I think. Moreover the flavours develop the next day. So if you have time make it the day before you want to have it. So here you go for the recipe with step by step pictures.

Wow..so so mouth watering, though with lots of oil. Suitable for special occasions . I was wondering if the curry leaves be added along with the shallots and the whole tempering instead of doing it in the end? Have you tried that way?

I think it's the best brinjal dish on your blog. I made it today and it was so tasty! Do you know what my husband said when we ate dinner? I told him: "Aarthi said it develops flavour overnight, so tomorrow it will taste better". And he said: "What? EVEN better?".
