i have shared quite a few eggplant recipes till now in my blog, but this recipe of brinjal tomato curry recipe is a unique one. it’s unique because of the use of brinjal and tomato which adds the flavour of brinjal and tanginess of tomato. typically the eggplant recipes are made with just onions or a combination of onion, peanuts and yoghurt. the use of tomatoes in eggplant is less common, but this recipe from andhra cuisine heavily uses it and hence the name of this recipe. i personally like this recipe and make it as a side dish to my rasam rice or dal rice combination. well, that’s the beauty of this recipe as it can be used for both the purpose.

anyway, before i wrap up the recipe, i would like to highlight some tips, suggestions and variations to brinjal tomato curry recipe. firstly, i would like to heavily recommend to use fresh and purple eggplant for this recipes. avoid the soggy or green eggplant as it may not have the same taste and flavour with it. secondly, the recipe has to be a combination of tangy and spicy in taste. hence do not compromise in the addition of spice as the combination of tomato and eggplant reduces the spice temperature. lastly, i would strongly recommend using red onions for this recipe as it tastes great with it. you may also use green or white onions as its alternative.
