Hi foodlover,

Tried brinjal curry yesterday and it was good. Have a doubt-the gravy came out thin, is that how it will be?

Dear R !
Thanks for the feedback.Actually the gravy should be thick.The brinjals should be cooked nicely and it will become very soft so that with a karandi if u smash it will mash and it becomes a thick gravy.
