Thai Brinjal Curry Recipe With Coconut Rice | OrientAsian

Thai Brinjal Curry Recipe

Give your taste buds a treat by following this Thai Brinjal Curry recipe. Brinjals, Aubergines or Eggplant are available years round, but they are best eaten during winters. These are quite versatile and can be used to make entrees or mains. We usually go for the typical preparation of Bajare Baigan or Baigan Barta or the Bengali specialty Baigana Bhajaa. Brinjal is used extensively in Thai Cuisine and we will prepare a variation of the Thai brinjal curry recipe. Since it’s a slightly tangy and mildly spicy curry we will pair it with coconut rice, which adds balance to our Thai Brinjal Curry with its creamy texture and adds a beautiful coconut flavour to the dish. We’ve got a range of Curry pastes, Chutneys, and Sauces including Mexican Sauce, Momo Chutney, etc which are endlessly adaptable to your tastes.
