Identifying SupperClub's eggplant dish

[bong]

We had a very different eggplant preparation  mixed with gur.

Pray tell more about this, I am very curious.

And welcome to the forum....

I wish I could tell you more. The eggplant (which btw looked like chinese eggplant) was cut into cubes and coated with a sauce. The sauce itself had the consistency of a murabba (thick and syrupy) and brownish in color. The eggplant tasted sweet but not overly so and very delicious. I googled to see of any eggplant + gur recipes and all I could find were Eggplant Gojju, Eggplant Pachadi, and Maharashtrian Eggplant with Potatoes. I am sure it was none of these.

Next time I go to Supper Club I'll definitely try to get more details.

I think there is a Konkani recipe Brinjal Puddi Sagle which also uses jaggery but I am not sure that was what you ate. Perhaps I will call the restaurant today and find out

There is a Pakistani restaurant here iin New Jersey, which has exactly same kind of eggplant dish . The dish has tamarind and jaggery.in it.

From Edward - I am still learning how to merge posts! Sorry

Sounds like Khatte Baigan to me. Supper Club has Bhagare Baigan on the menu-eggplant with peanuts, poppy seeds, tamarind and I think jaggery. This is Hyderabadi....no?

I dont have their menu handy.. I have eaten there when I wrote about them.. but missed this dish. Its possible its Hyderabadi Baigan.. although my recipe and the ones I have seen on them dont have the gur taste so pronounced.
