Brainjal Moju is a vibrant, tangy pickled dish originating from Sri Lankan cuisine. It features eggplant (brinjal) as its main ingredient, paired with aromatics like onion, garlic, and mustard seeds, and flavored with vinegar, chili powder, and a touch of sugar. The eggplant is typically fried before being immersed in the flavorful pickling mix, resulting in a rich, balanced combination of sweet, sour, and spicy notes. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants from the eggplant, Brainjal Moju can promote heart health and support digestion. However, the frying process increases the fat content, and sugar is often added for enhanced sweetness, which may make this dish less suitable for individuals watching their caloric intake. Traditionally served as a flavorful side dish alongside rice and curry, Brainjal Moju is a delicious way to experience the bold tastes of Sri Lankan cooking.
