Exceptional Health Benefits

Heart Health Powerhouse

Sesame seeds contain the richest source of phytosterols (202mg per ounce) that lower LDL cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and decrease heart attack risk by up to 17%.

Rich in Antioxidants

Brinjals and sesame provide powerful antioxidants including anthocyanins and sesamolin that protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce disease risk.

Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Sesamin and sesamolin provide potent anti-inflammatory effects, reducing joint pain by up to 63% in arthritis studies while protecting cartilage.

Blood Sugar Control

Fenugreek seeds help lower blood glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and aid diabetes management naturally.

Digestive Wellness

Tamarind pulp is rich in dietary fiber that aids digestion, while fenugreek improves gut health and reduces bloating.

Weight Management Support

Tamarind contains trypsin inhibitor that regulates hunger hormones and promotes feelings of fullness, supporting healthy weight loss.

Bone & Joint Health

High calcium and magnesium content from sesame seeds strengthen bones and support skeletal health for all ages.

How to Prepare Perfect Ennai Kathirikai

Preparation:

  1. Slice 500g small purple brinjals into quarters (keeping the cap intact) and deep-fry in sesame oil until golden. Set aside.
  2. Extract tamarind pulp from a lemon-sized ball by soaking in warm water.

Cooking Steps:

  1. Heat 3-4 tbsp sesame oil in a pan; add 1 tsp mustard seeds and let splutter.
  2. Add curry leaves and fry until aromatic.
  3. Optional: Add 1 chopped onion and 4-5 garlic cloves; sauté until golden.
  4. Add 2 finely ground tomatoes; cook until oil separates and raw smell disappears (5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour in tamarind water (1.5 cups); bring to a rolling boil.
  6. Mix in 4-4.5 tsp Andhra Ennai Kathirikai Kuzhambu Masala and salt to taste; stir well.
  7. Add fried brinjals gently; simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the curry thickens and oil separates on top.
  8. Garnish with fresh coriander; serve hot with steamed rice and papad.

Pro Tips:

  • Always use small, fresh purple brinjals for best taste and texture
  • Sesame oil (gingelly oil) is essential for authentic flavor
  • Adjust spice level by varying masala quantity
  • The curry tastes even better the next day as flavors meld
