It is a simple and easy side dish or sabzi made with small-size brinjals (baingan / ringan). A tasty masala is made with peanuts, sesame seeds, and dry coconut cooked with baingan until it has developed all the flavors. It has a little sweet, sour, and medium spicy in terms of taste, just like any Gujarati food. ย In this recipe, I share the dry sabzi version for tiffin and gravy versions of lunch or dinner thali. Do try this!
The key to making tasty bharela Ringan nu shak at home are
- Firstly, for sabzi, I fry brinjals on medium flame, or you can also steam it for sabzi.
- Secondly, Crushed peanuts and sesame give a nutty taste to the sabzi. Also, I made masala paste a little spicy but if you do not like the curry to be spicy, then reduce the amount of chili powder.
- Lastly, bharela Ringan sabzi tastes great the next day, as it absorbs masala well.
