Brinjal gravy for Ghee rice in Muslim Style. This resembles a sambar. Mint and Coriander Leaves are added to the boiled and mashed dal and brinjal mixture. The addition of these green leaves brings in very different taste to the Brinjal gravy. This curry goes well with Ghee rice, Biryani or any Pulao. This is one of my favourite recipes from childhood. Happened to taste this in my cousins wedding meal few days back. Got the sweet old memoried when we happened to taste this in my friends home in any muslin festivals from a good old friend of mine. I Simply liked it. I wanted try this and here it is. This recipe is also popular in any Muslim functions. Here goes the recipe…
