    Dahi Baingan Recipe | Brinjals in Curd Based Curry

    This dahi baingan curry is a simple and easy dish which is made with shallow fried brinjals cooked in curd based gravy.

    This is one easy eggplant dish. I make dahi baingan as a side dish. It goes well with rice or khichdi recipe. Dahi baingan can be made in two ways.

    Read my flourless dahi baingan recipe here. In my earlier post of dahi baingan, curd is not cooked. Only fried brinjals and an aromatic tempering is added to the mixture of curd and fried brinjals.

    You can also call that as baingan raita. There is another way to make baingan raita also. I will share my baingan raita recipe with roasted brinjals soon.

    Where as this is cooked in North Indian style. In this dish we need to cook dahi and gram flour mixture just like in punjabi kadhi. So this is little thicker as compared to plain flourless ones.

    This makes an excellent main course or as a side dish with khichdi or dal rice.
