Brinjal rasam is a conventional rasam with a unique taste from tender cooked brinjals added to the pulp extracted from tamarind that is the base of Rasam and gives a tangy taste. This is a different variation from the normal rasam cooked daily in most South Indian homes. The dal water added to the rasam helps in balancing the sourness or the spiciness of the soup.
Brinjal rasam is highly aromatic and flavourful that emanates from the fresh roasted and ground Indian spices added to it. Brinjal rasam can also be called as vankaya charu in Telugu, Kathrikai rasam in Tamil or Saaru etc. It is basically Aubergine tangy soup which is an adaptation of the classic Mulligatawny. Brinjals or Eggplant is a very common vegetable that is available almost right round the year.
The Brinjal, (Solanum melongena), is an easily cultivated plant belonging to the family Solanaceae. Its fruit is high in nutrition and commonly consumed as a vegetable. The fruit and other parts of the plant are used in traditional medicine. It is native to Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
This vegetable is fleshy and has a meaty texture. The vegetable is capable of absorbing large amounts of cooking fats and sauces, allowing for very rich dishes, but the salting process will reduce the amount of oil absorbed. The vegetable flesh is smooth; as related to the tomato, the numerous seeds are soft and edible along with the rest of the fruit.
The thin skin is also edible, so peeling is not required. Brinjal is popularly used in making of a variety of dishes like adding in stews, curries, casseroles, chutney etc. It can be cooked in many variations as per their regions and likings. Eggplant is used in making a classic Middle Eastern dish popularly known as baba ghanoush and the similar Greek dish melitzanosalata.
