Bharil Vaingan (Vegan Eggplant Coconut Curry)

konkani bharil vaingan
We Konkanis love coconut, be it breakfast like GoDa Phovu or a curry like this one. The mild flavor of Udid Methi, as said in Konkani is the highlight of this eggplant curry.
This no onion garlic recipe is a tasty delight for both vegans and vegetarians.
