RECIPE (4 servings, 35min prep time): -2 eggplants Cut in chunks and heavily salt it. Wait 10mins and pat dry them. Fry in some oil until charred. -a thumbsize piece of ginger -3 cloves garlic -1 Tbsp curry powder -1 Tsp chili powder -2 Tbsp tomato paste Roast 4min. -1 Cup (250ml) each water and coconut milk -1 heaped Tbsp peanut butter Let it simmer 10mins. Finish with salt, lemon juice and a touch of agave. Serve with rice.
@@valeasrultra it won't be same flavor for sure but you can try airfrying the eggplant slices with the spices (with ground versions of ginger and garlic and the others dry spice powders she already uses) and salt to get some flavor in them first. then gently simmer the water, coconut milk and peanut butter and tomato paste and add in the Airfried eggplant slices and that might work.
Just a small tip, after cutting the eggplant instead of salting it, soak it for couple of minutes in salted water, drain and use the veggies. Your dish will taste so much better as this will prevent oxidation and browning.
Hello can you please share the ingredients of this particular curry powder used in this srilankan recipe? Im from India and as you know we have so many states and there are different types of curry powders in each state. I would love to make this dish, just need to get a clear idea of your version of curry powder.
@@RituparnaRouth Hi! In our curry powder, we use the required amounts of coriander seeds, fennel seeds, uncooked rice, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cloves, cardamom pods, curry leaves, and dried red chillis. Then roast everything and powder it. I hope this helps😊!
I, am not Sri Lankan, and I am happy that you showed Me this vegan curry dish/version. I understand that people can be very particular on how to prepare rice
I’m Sri Lankan and it’s great to see Sri Lankan food be celebrated like this. The only thing is, this isn’t like any Sri Lankan curry I’ve made but I understand that you adapted the recipe for the ingredients people have on hand. This does look delicious! 🤤
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm a srilankan 🇱🇰 and have been a fan of you for a while now, for some reason I haven't commented you to try srilankan food which I mostly do with other food content creators 😂 so this is a big surprise for me to see srilankan food in this channel. btw we don't really use tomato paste in our curries but sometimes we use pieces of tomato, but should try this recipe as well. TYSM!
If you want to make this taste authentically Sri Lankan, I would HIGHLY recommend using Sri Lankan roasted curry powder. The blend is quite different to other types and has a really distinctive taste, and gives a dark brown appearance to the curry. It’s not hard to find online but you can also buy the individual spices and make it yourself. Also we don’t use peanut butter or tomato paste but I’m sure that tastes great, it’s mainly the curry powder I would recommend using a Sri Lankan one
Hi friend, if you have time, please post a link to the recipe if your curry powder. I would love to try. I am an Indian and I had a nice meal in one of Srilankan's restaurants in the UK. I just fell in love with your cuisine. ❤
There are some reasons to wash rice: 1) in a lot of cases ( product testing) the rice is contaminated with arsenic acid. You can wash it out. 2) rice has phytic acid. The same with seeds, nuts, oats, lentils etc. this is keeping a part if the nutrition. Zink, Iron etc. With soaking you bring up the process of phytase. So get a bigger amount of the nutrition. And for some people it's better to digest. Rinse after soaking. 3) the rice get more fluffy. Just like in the restaurant. With soaking and rinsing. How many hours the nuts and co need, you can google. It's worth it.
Also the rice sometimes contains eggs And waste products of weevils little bugs that often infest rice 😭 for me thats the main reason i wash it Now although i wasnt doing that Always until i found out this @@stefanienia3914
Thank you for trying Sri Lankan dishes! Although we don't usually use tomato paste, just plain tomatoes. Also no peanut butter as well. But I think it'll add a nice flavour.
Sri Lankan subscriber here 🥹🙋🏽♀️ My family makes it slightly different. We deep-fry the diced eggplant and ash-plantain, before making the curry. It is 🔥
@@loulou785741I'm guessing in a pan, on a stove. A rice cooker is not that different tbh, it's just a pan that doesn't need to be on the stove, and turns off at the moment the water evaporated
As a Sri Lankan who has been following your channel for a long time, this makes me so happy each time I watch it:) thanks for the representation. It means so much more since my boyfriend is also German and he’s vegetarian
Looks so good! Watch one of Maangchi's eggplant recipes to see how to properly cut up an eggplant! All you have to do is peel back the leaves - right now you're cutting away an awful lot of usable eggplant!
Next time make a space in the middle of the pan put the curry in the hot pan and kind ofbrown it down a bit. It releases the nutty aroma and stops the runs
,,😳😲 stop! 🙄 I'm a Sri Lankan, but never seen for Sri Lankan egg plant curry used tomato sauce,😊 how ever nice try, 😂 and actually I'm so happy to see some one try our recipe, thanks you ❤❤
I am a Sri Lankan and a big fan of you and good to see you featuring our cuisine. Actually your veg recipes made my life. But one day, you must visit Sri Lanka and enjoy the real eggplant dish ❤
made this today, its very delicious!!! I added fresh tumeric and ate it with paneer baked in garam masala and store bought coriander garlic naan bread. also couldnt use lemon juice.
Hello, I have tried this recipe. I don't have much cooking experience. I did not use rice, because I wanted to keep it low carb, also we are only two people so I used only one eggplant and added some paprika that I had laying around. I soaked them in salted water and indeed there were no brown spots. I followed the recipe from that point on. My result: the dish is easy and quick to make, also very cheap because of the little ingredients. The paprika added a nice crunch to it and I can imagine that it would also taste good with Brokkoli and maybe some carrots. Adding maple syrup was a good idea and really brought the meal together. Also, minimal cleanup is a plus point. For two people, my variant could have been more, but it is definitely a nice and light summer meal. 8/10
This is the first recipe I tried to reproduce from your channel and OMG! It's just unbelievable how delicious it turned out! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Love from Brazil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Wahnsinn, danke, und auch lustig. Du hast es sehr schnell gezeigt, aber ich habe es einfach mehrmals angesehen. Ich liebe vegetarische Rezepte. Du bist so herrlich unkompliziert.
Tried this recipe. I didn't have tomato paste. So I blanched and blended a tomato & 2 dried chillis then added it to the curry. It was yummy 😋. Thanks for the recipe
I didnt add the peanut butter as my husband is allergic to it. But mannnmnnn it was sooooooo good. Thanks for the beautiful recipe. I already added pounded curry leaves and green chilie to it
Super recipe! Curries i have a long love affair with. Tho i could never take the heat of real Sri Lankan curry, I am all there for a toned down version. Thanks for the recipes. I can and do use them àll as I'm always looking for more ways to use veggies(they are what everyone tells me to eat more of) Since 1992. Could you do more videos on veggie fritters, i really Love these when i go to Indian restaurants.
Yes eggplant curry or stir fried is delicious. I use roasted cashews n peanuts n grind them n add on. The taste adds in superb. I just can eat the egg plant. Mouth watering😘😘
Omg...how come you know how to make our delicious Sri Lankan.cuisine...my all time favourites. .we call it " Batu moju'...in our language...of course it's a eggplant curry...looks so delicious dear...❤
Made this yesterday and it was delicious. I added a little bit more coconut milk to my taste and threw in some bell peppers. I forgot the peanut butter but it still turned out well. Super easy.
Oh my goodness I tried this and I never expected it to be so delicious! What a flavor explosion in the mouth ! It is so easy to make as well. My toddler loves it too ! Win win win!
#SriLankanCuisine 🇱🇰🔥💪🏼❤ I appreciate your video. But consider these tips to make it more authentic. 👇🏼👇🏼 Tomato paste ❌ Fresh tomatoes ✅ Peanut butter - Noo Honey - Nope Coriander - Nahh, we're not Indians. Put curry leaves and rambai leaves instead!! That's the flavor! 😋 Coconut milk - hell yeah. Onion - why not?
RECIPE (4 servings, 35min prep time):
-2 eggplants
Cut in chunks and heavily salt it.
Wait 10mins and pat dry them.
Fry in some oil until charred.
-a thumbsize piece of ginger
-3 cloves garlic
-1 Tbsp curry powder
-1 Tsp chili powder
-2 Tbsp tomato paste
Roast 4min.
-1 Cup (250ml) each water and coconut milk
-1 heaped Tbsp peanut butter
Let it simmer 10mins.
Finish with salt, lemon juice and a touch of agave.
Serve with rice.
Can I possibly do it oil free do you think?
@@valeasrultra it won't be same flavor for sure but you can try airfrying the eggplant slices with the spices (with ground versions of ginger and garlic and the others dry spice powders she already uses) and salt to get some flavor in them first. then gently simmer the water, coconut milk and peanut butter and tomato paste and add in the Airfried eggplant slices and that might work.
Your recipes are amazing, thanks for sharing! 🫶
What Brand Curry powder do you use?
YOU CAN BAKE & broil it first but it tastes better when it is Sauteed...
Just a small tip, after cutting the eggplant instead of salting it, soak it for couple of minutes in salted water, drain and use the veggies. Your dish will taste so much better as this will prevent oxidation and browning.
Great tip!! 👍🏾 Thanks.
Agree. Also reduce bitterness
Not necessary
I’m a Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 and this makes me so happy😭♥️
Pull up in the monster, automobile gangsta…

As a Sri Lankan, happy to see that our eggplant curry has become a household name!! ❤😊
What is curry powder? Is that garam masala?
Can I skip the milk???
@@farihasultanaazha Nooo. It IS the main thing!!
Omg I'm soo happy that you're making sri lankan food. Love your recepies. Keep up your good work😆. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️

@@miffyishappy_ coconut cream is just the same as coconut milk but less diluted, you can use either depending how rich tasting you want it
@@medcomm541 I just buy it tbh but there’s loads of recipes online! look for Sri Lankan unroasted curry powder (thuna paha)
Greetings from Sri Lanka!
I'm definitely gonna make this. Just gonna replace tomato paste with the actual tomato.
Really you washed the rice? 🤓
Loved the recipe, will try soon. Eggplants are one of my favorite! ❤👍🏾

Looks awesome, will 100% make this during the week🤩
I love the fact the rice is washed. The curry looks delicious!

My family makes it slightly different. We deep-fry the diced eggplant and ash-plantain, before making the curry. It is 🔥
oooh, that looks amazing
Lady I'm Indian, we do wash the rice but none of that rice cooker bs. Good job. 1.3 billion people got your back. Plus we like brinjal.
How do you cook rice?
@@loulou785741I'm guessing in a pan, on a stove. A rice cooker is not that different tbh, it's just a pan that doesn't need to be on the stove, and turns off at the moment the water evaporated
I don’t know a single Indian that doesn’t use a rice cooker.
Hi I am srilankan..Happy to see you making a dish inspired from our country.

dang. so it's actually good. i wonder what I did wrong......maybe I added too much salt when salting the eggplants. or my curry powder was off?
Deine Videos top notch girl! Danke ❤
I like your cooking style😊
Just made this omg it's super delicious I added rasins cherry tomatoes and cashew nuts....love your channell Thank you....🎉🎉🎉
Wahnsinn, danke, und auch lustig. Du hast es sehr schnell gezeigt, aber ich habe es einfach mehrmals angesehen. Ich liebe vegetarische Rezepte. Du bist so herrlich unkompliziert.
In my country people are hanged when they don’t wash rice before cooking…
It’s a serious offence
I tried this today! I must say, for someone who doesn't like eggplant, this is pretty good :) the coconut is an excellent touch!
This looks amazing thank you!!!!!
Thank you had so much eggplants from the garden and I needed new ways to cook it.
Tried this recipe. I didn't have tomato paste. So I blanched and blended a tomato & 2 dried chillis then added it to the curry. It was yummy 😋. Thanks for the recipe
I often make a variation of eggplant curry. I'm obsessed with eggplant and I think the trick is to let it water out first and to fry it properly
Im a Sri Lankan. Gonna try this today. Thank you for this fusion recipe ❤
You make it look so EASY & DELICIOUS! Thank you❤🥥🧄
I'm a biggggg fan of you from Sri Lanka 😍
Love you girl❤
i made this immediately. And its sooo delicious. Thank u so much ❤️
Get rid of the sweetener for indian or curry based dishes. Replace it with a cherry sixmze tamarind(paste). It gives a whole new level umami❤
You dont need to salt white rice, just water. It supposed to soak the good flavour of what ever dish you're having.
More Sri Lankan curries please . Hot butter mushroom too
I didnt add the peanut butter as my husband is allergic to it. But mannnmnnn it was sooooooo good. Thanks for the beautiful recipe. I already added pounded curry leaves and green chilie to it
Hi! I'm trying cooking curry for the first time. What makes this recipe from Sri Lanka? Only using coconut milk and not broth?
Super recipe! Curries i have a long love affair with. Tho i could never take the heat of real Sri Lankan curry, I am all there for a toned down version. Thanks for the recipes. I can and do use them àll as I'm always looking for more ways to use veggies(they are what everyone tells me to eat more of)
Since 1992. Could you do more videos on veggie fritters, i really Love these when i go to Indian restaurants.
I've been avoiding eggplant since childhood, but I am going to try this recipe next week!
Just made it and its absolutely delicious yet so simple!! thank you!! x
Looks delicious!
Would honey, maple syrup, or regular sugar be the best replacement for the agave?
Maple if you still want it to be vegan.
Everyrhing you make looks sp delicious! Definitley about to go to the supermsrket to get some eggplants ❤❤
Im definitely going to try this it’s already making my mouth water, I want to try it with pasta!
I have made this dish twice in a week and my Indian partner loves this so much. I never cook curries so thank you

I appreciate your video.
But consider these tips to make it more authentic. 👇🏼👇🏼
Tomato paste ❌ Fresh tomatoes ✅
Peanut butter - Noo
Honey - Nope
Coriander - Nahh, we're not Indians. Put curry leaves and rambai leaves instead!! That's the flavor! 😋
Coconut milk - hell yeah.
Onion - why not?
