Katharikai Poriyal (Brinjal fry)


When we were kids grandmom used to plant brinjal and the yield from them was always in BIG quantities. My mom makes this poriyal which goes very well with rice and with chapathi's.  The brinjal we buy from the market is no where close to the ones we used to grow in our homes.
This dish is one of my childhood favourites. The blended taste of brinjal and onions is truely a treat to the tastebuds.
