Tip of the day: You can deep fry the brinjal's. Deep frying the brinjal's can make the curry cook faster. When you deep fry them you have to add them when the gravy is cooked fully. If you want to store the gravy don't add onions into it, while making the curry add onions in the oil or grate them and add that gives a better taste.
