Brinjal Curry ~ Easy Side Dish for Biryani

Brinjal Curry is an Easy Side Dish for Biryani that can be done very quickly. Biryanis always are served with some raita and gravy on the side and this dish is very apt for it.

First of all, when we make Biryanis, we always end up making something on the side as well. So you have options like onion raita or in most cases an easy brinjal curry. I am sure many of you know that a nonveg biryani always has a Brinjal curry served with it.

Similarly, when we make a vegetarian Biryani, we also follow the same method of having an onion raita and a curry on the side. Because this recipe is very simple to make. As a result, we make it often such easy gravies for one pot meals.. We are very fond of Brinjal and have dishes like Gutti Vankaya Kura, Vankaya Senagalu Kura, yet another easy Brinjal curry for rice, and Brinjal Puli Curry.

This Easy Brinjal Curry is part of the Weekend Party Vegetarian Thali Menu. On C4AS, check out the final Nonveg thali I had prepared.

With this, we are coming to the final Thalis featuring Regional Cuisines.
