Brinjal / Eggplant Vethakuzhambu/ Spicy Gravy

This is another version of the vethakuzhambu made with Green Brinjals! Follow the same proceedure as the Onion Vethakuzhambu, execept replace onions with green Brinjals.
Even the purple one can be used to make this.

My mom would say the expression "then il iruntha pala cholai" meaning, the brinjals taste as good as a jackfuit soaked in Honey! whenever she made this.

I have made this in a Kal Chetti. This is a vessel carved out of a single stone.It is made of a stone called soap stone We used to play with this stone, by using it like a chalk. This has to be cured before using. This particular one I made the gravy is my mom's/

Here is my collection of this utensil

You can read more about this or buy some modern versions here.

As you can see, I have to cure the last two, but the three on the left side,are well used.
Food prepared in this stays hot for a long time. Vetha Kuzhambu, Spinach Kootu, Any Kootu tastes exceptional.




I have some storage jars, in which I store some fresh pickles....
