Brinjal vathal - கத்திரிக்காய் வத்தல் 100gm

Kathari Vathal (கத்தரிக்காய் வத்தல்) — Sun-Dried Brinjal the Traditional Way

Kathari Vathal is a beloved South Indian sun-dried delicacy made from fresh tender brinjal (eggplant) carefully sliced and sun-dried without any chemicals or preservatives. Deep, smoky, and intensely flavoured — this is one of the most satisfying and versatile vathals in Tamil kitchens.

Fry it in sesame oil until golden and crispy, and it transforms into a rich, melt-in-the-mouth side dish with a beautifully smoky depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with any rice-based meal.
