I didn't like eggplant until I tried this recipe.. thank you 😁

Can we use normal milk? Or need coconut milk?

Super delicious!!!

Where’d u learn this

Sri Lankan egg plant curry and moju is my favourite...

Wow

That looks good gur

Sri lankan love on plate

UNSUBSCRIBED for not washing the rice..........which is just gross and beyond lazy

I hope you all realize that all rice if dried on the ground. Where barefoot underpaid workers rake the rice so it dries evenly.....that's why you might find a unalived bug, sand, or small stone in the rice. NOT washing rice is just gross and lazy really gross and lazy........filthy gross and filthy lazy

Add fenugreek 🤤 Absolute game changer!

Thank you for washing/rinsing you rice before cooking 😇

Delicious!! Finally i made it and tried this recepie and ofc "i washed my rice" 😂

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

Which herb are you sprinkling on at the beginning? Going to cook this tonight 😊

What are the herbs you put in at the beginning? Parsley or cilantro?

I am Sri Lankan and this makes me feel so proud of our cuisine

So on time!

Switch out the pb for tahini

What is curry powder?🤔

I tried this today! I must say, for someone who doesn't like eggplant, this is pretty good :) the coconut is an excellent touch!

So do you wash the rice and then let it dry?

Why always some sweeters?

Try this with sweetpotatoes an Zucchini.

Ooooh that looks so good im gonna make 😊😊❤❤

What sri lankan?
This is Indian recipe that we have been making since centuries.

😮

Why do you put sugar in everything?

What are the greens you added? Was it cilantro? Or??

I have a question- what exactly is curry powder? I mean which spices does it use?

eggplant for life ❤️

I'm Sri Lankan and this is very much not from there except for maybe the coconut.

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.

I'm glad you're exploring Sri Lankan cuisine. Nearly 80% of our dishes are vegan. Unless you deliberately add dried fish or something to some dishes and other than obvious meat, fish or seafood dishes everything else is 100% vegan.
If you can find please try jackfruit recipes, coconut sambol, melon curries, capsicum dishes, banana flower dishes, plantain dishes, pumkin dishes, garlic curry so and so... there's so much! And I'm sure you'll love at least some of them!
Also try hoppers, string hoppers, pittu and milk rice as well~

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!

Curry!? CURRY!? PLS stop saying that and try to learn its actual name. Please.🥺

That looks good 🤤

Use fresh tomato, you'll definitely see the change

Every video: best recipe I have ever made.
Bs

What you were lost for a solid month. Didn’t see any of your videos recommended to me.

The eggplant curry looks yummy 😋 but first seeing using peanut butter for eggplant curry. Gonna try later

😋

Being vegan must be miserable

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😘😘

Looks yummy👌

Why cocunet milk?

Rice should be brown rice.....better would be sweet potato.....add parsley to get the arteries clean......after eating that you can live at the south pole.....pumped full of vitamin c....eat a Brazil nut for selenium....max 2.....

You should have used chick peas....egg plant is poisonous....was found in Mexico in 1754 and so too was patoto tomatoes green pepper chillies.....darkshade vegetables full of lectins.....don't eat them

Bad luck elephant is our god
