Brinjal (Kathirikai/Baingan)

Farm-Fresh Brinjal (Kathirikai) — glossy, firm brinjal picked young on our own Tamil Nadu farm and delivered across Chennai.

Key Benefits

• Grown on our own farm without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers.
• Naturally contains anthocyanins, the pigment that gives the skin its deep purple colour.
• Naturally contains dietary fibre and is low in energy.
• Picked young, when the flesh is still pale and the seeds are soft.
• The brinjal of Tamil cooking — ennai kathirikai, sambar and gothsu.

Traditional Tamil Uses

• Ennai kathirikai kuzhambu — the stuffed classic
• Kathirikai gothsu with pongal or idli
• Kathirikai poriyal and kathirikai rasavangi

• In sambar and mixed vegetable kootu

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate unwashed in a perforated cover.
