 Brinjal curry with milk: -

Cook this entire curry in medium flame.

You might go with 1 big onion for 1 big brinjal 

Adding lot of green Chilies and less red chili powder gives more taste to this curry - 6 green chilies.

Onions should be mediumly chopped for this curry.

When you cut brinjal, soak it in saltwater to remove any bitterness /color change.

1st Tadaka --- No garlic, no gingeradd curry leaves if you have.For tadka adding lot of oil gives more taste.

Add onions and sauté until transparent 

Then add brinjal, I also prefer to add Drumsticks incase if you have the frozen ones.

Now add salt and red-chili powder according to the taste.

Cover the lid and sauté every 3-4 minutes to avoid sticking in the bottom.

In medium flame I think it doesn’t take more than 15-20 min for the brinjals to cook based on the quantity.

Note: - don’t cook until brinjal turns mushy or paste.

Once brinjal seem to be cooked, add 1 rice cup of milk of 1 big brinjal and cook it in the slow flame.

 

After adding milk cooking in low flame and sauté continuously to avoid breaking of milk. 

Once it forms a nice consistency you can turn it off (it need not be thick) . it shouldn’t take you more than 3-5minutes in low flame.

 

 Brinjal Curry - 

 

- Once you add the milk, does the dish keep long or do you have to eat it all at once? --- Taste  does not go bad untill 2 days , but I wouldn’t suggest to heat it more than 1-2 times .

- I have frozen drumsticks - when do I add them? Just add it with brinjals 

- Should I follow the ingredients in your recipe which is fewer than the YouTube and also did not have dal tadka.

I think you can go with the ingredients in the word document and you can completely ignore dal for tadka , jeera and mustard seeds are sufficient I guess.

 

Badi Curry - what was the mix of dal tadka that the person was using? He was using jeera, broken urad dal, Toor dal, and mustard seeds .
