Stuffed Baby Eggplant Curry/Stuffed Brinjal Curry


We are entering the 62nd edition of Blogging Marathon with  many interesting themes.For this edition I chose no tomato gravies and will be showcasing of the no tomato version of gravies for next few days.
Addition of tomato gives a nice thick creamy and tangy taste to the gravies,but it can be substituted with other ingredients to get the exact taste and texture.
Today's recipe is a stuffed eggplant curry where no grinding of masala involved.It is a simple curry in which eggplants cooked in a onion and coconut paste.For the tangy taste used a little amount of tamarind.Off to the recipe................................
