The main ingredient for this recipe is brinjal, but also used potatoes to give a smooth texture.
This recipe tastes best when made with green brinjals. Due to non-availability, I have used purple- long brinjals.
Previously I had posted Brinjal and potato poriyal. But this recipe is from Mysore cuisine.
