Katharikai Rasavangi (Brinjal curry)

                       Sometime back I saw this recipe in television demonstrated by chef Jacob.
Yeah, I like Chef Jacob collection especially his Arokiya samayal & research on traditional recipes.
Still now i cannot think that he is no more...Genius! May his soul rest in peace.

We are familiar with Ennai Katharikai and  other few recipes of brinjal but this Rasavangi, i have not tasted it anywhere, its very new dish to me and my family...
If you want me to explain the taste, then I can say it as bit tangy brinjal in creamy kootu...
