For this recipe: The eggplant has to be tender and smaller in size. Particularly the purple coloured with stripes are ideal for this curry. secondly, be generous with the amount of oil while you are preparing this curry. Addition of oil lowers the spice level of the curry and at the same time, it makes it creamier.
