Rice and some type of spicy gravies are a common one in a southindian home. We make it daily at home, I love to try different types of gravies so we wont get bored having the same thing again and again.

I made it today! It wasn't really very spicy - after all, it only had two chilies and some sambal. And it's a pity that I didn't have fresh coconut at hand, so it wasn't as creamy as yours. But we still liked it. I have to try more of your brinjal kulambu recipes.
