Brinji sadam / Plain Brinji Rice is a popular rice recipe in Tamil nadu. It is served with Vegetable kurma or Brinjal gravy as side dish in marriage feast and road side hotels. My friends in Chennai have told me about this rice. But I don’t have any idea as I have neither tasted nor seen it.
Last week I saw a picture of brinji rice along with brinjal gravy/Kathirikai kurma in facebook’s Food-fun-friends group. I really got tempted by the picture and asked the recipe. Special thanks to Edwin Edy for sharing the pictures of brinji rice & Brinjal gravy for biryani from a Tamil magazine.
I tried brinjal gravy by referring that recipe and Mye’s blog. For this brinji recipe,i referred many blogs,asked some of my friends and tried it. Its a very simple and easy recipe without any masala grinding job. Its more like simple pulao recipe. I am not sure whether this is the authentic brinji recipe that is served in Hotels & marriage feast because I found so many variations for this particular recipe. I did not add any vegetables here & I have made it as plain coconut milk pulao. It tasted awesome with this brinjal gravy. To enjoy brinji’s best flavor, you must try it with some spicy side dishes like kurma.
Non vegetarians can try with egg gravy, chicken gravy or prawn curry as mentioned by my friends. But vegetarians have few side dish like kurma, brinjal gravy, salna. I have shared a seperate post for brinjal gravy because this post will become too lengthy if I share it here.
I have also shared another version of brinji using with vegetables and masala. Now lets see how to make plain brinji rice @ biryanileaf / bayleaf pulao recipe with stepwise pictures.
