About Brinjal moju

Brinjal Moju is a flavorful Sri Lankan dish made from eggplant, an integral ingredient in South Asian cuisine. It typically features fried brinjal slices mixed with a tangy base of vinegar, mustard seeds, onions, green chilies, and spices like turmeric and chili powder. The dish is often seasoned with sugar for a touch of sweetness, balancing its rich and spicy profile. While deep-frying the eggplant adds a crisp texture, it can increase the calorie count and fat content. Eggplant is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants like nasunin, and essential vitamins, supporting heart health and digestion. However, moderation is key due to the oil used in preparation. Brinjal Moju is a versatile side dish often paired with rice or curries, highlighting the dynamic and bold flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine while offering both nutritional benefits and indulgent appeal.
