October 3, 2012 by Sharmilee J 35 Comments

I have tasted ennai kathirikai  kuzhambu at my friends place and instantly fell for it as I love brinjals. Since then I had been wanting to try this recipe and finally a day came too…..I had bookmarked this recipe, tried it few weeks back and it came out soo good. Have it with rice and kootu the best combination.

Ennai Kathrikkai Kulambu Recipe

My Notes:
  • Preferably use a non stick pan so that brinjals gets roasted well without sticking.
  • Sesame oil is good for health so add it generously. Take care to boil well till oil separates, thats the speciality of this kulambu.
  • The spice powder can be made in advance and refrigerated for future use.
  • Choose baby brinjals, you can use wither green or purple brinjals.
