I learnt this brinjal sambar recipe for idli, dosa from my Amma. It is a Tirunelveli(Tamil nadu) style Kathirikai sambar made as a side dish for Idli. My mom calls this as Kathirikai kichadi. So I've mentioned the same as title. You can call this Kathirikai gosthu, kochu etc.
This is my most favorite sambar with brinjal. My mom makes this gravy especially for me whenever I visit her place. I am a great fan of brinjal recipes whereas Sendhil is just the opposite to me. Last week I got some fresh brinjals from my uncle’s garden. So I got tempted to make this kichadi for me and I prepared tomato sambar for my husband. It came out exactly like my mom’s preparation. I felt like eating from my mom’s hand. So I am sharing my mom’s recipe with you all.
Try this recipe only if you are an ardent brinjal fan like me. In this sambar, you can enjoy the original flavor of brinjal. Asafetida, coriander leaves and small onions used in it helps to enhance the taste and flavor. Do try this sambar and enjoy with hot idli. Don’t forget to add gingely oil while serving. Lets see how to make this Tirunelveli style Kathirikai Kichadi with new updated pictures.
