A detailed recipe for Badanekayi mosaru gojju, also known as steamed brinjal curry, is presented with step-by-step pictures and an accompanying video guide. This dish is incredibly tasty and pairs well with rice, roti, or chapati. Badanekayi mosaru gojju is made using brinjals, curd, green chili, salt, and a flavorful tempering.For this recipe, I have utilized small purple brinjals, but feel free to use any variety of brinjals you prefer. If the brinjals are large, it's recommended to roughly chop them before steaming. Additionally, ensure that the brinjals are tender for enhanced taste and texture. Badanekayi translates to brinjal in Kannada and mosaru gojju is a common name for these kind of yoghurt based curries.
