Eggplant Podi Curry Recipe is another traditional south Indian recipe that I grew up eating. Brinjal/eggplant has always been a favorite of mine growing up and I love my mom’s ennai kathirika and podi idicha curry. Podi, meaning freshly ground spices, is added to sauteed brinjals. I used to forget to note down her recipes and had to call her every time I made the same recipe. That’s when I started writing down my recipes. This is one such recipe from my collection, that reminds me of home and mom!
