Brinjal Masala 印式燴茄子 also known as Eggplant Masala, is a savory and aromatic Indian dish that celebrates the rich flavors of eggplant. The dish begins with sautéing diced eggplant until tender and slightly charred. A mixture of onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes is then cooked until soft and fragrant.
Spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala are added to create a robust and flavorful base. The sautéed eggplant or brinjal is mixed into this spiced tomato gravy, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Garnished with fresh coriander leaves, Brinjal Masala is best enjoyed with naan, roti, or steamed rice, offering a delicious and satisfying vegetarian meal.
