Plantain & Brinjal Curry

I learnt this recipe from a SriLankan friend. I have tried it several times and totally love it. Fresh grated coconut is the key ingredient and oil plays an important role too! So use these ingredients according to your comfort level and taste! :) Thanks Vanathy for the yummy recipe!
