Just a small tip, after cutting the eggplant instead of salting it, soak it for couple of minutes in salted water, drain and use the veggies. Your dish will taste so much better as this will prevent oxidation and browning.

I, am not Sri Lankan, and I am happy that you showed Me this vegan curry dish/version. I understand that people can be very particular on how to prepare rice

I’m Sri Lankan and it’s great to see Sri Lankan food be celebrated like this. The only thing is, this isn’t like any Sri Lankan curry I’ve made but I understand that you adapted the recipe for the ingredients people have on hand. This does look delicious! 🤤

If you want to make this taste authentically Sri Lankan, I would HIGHLY recommend using Sri Lankan roasted curry powder. The blend is quite different to other types and has a really distinctive taste, and gives a dark brown appearance to the curry. It’s not hard to find online but you can also buy the individual spices and make it yourself.
Also we don’t use peanut butter or tomato paste but I’m sure that tastes great, it’s mainly the curry powder I would recommend using a Sri Lankan one

Hello, I have tried this recipe. I don't have much cooking experience.
I did not use rice, because I wanted to keep it low carb, also we are only two people so I used only one eggplant and added some paprika that I had laying around. I soaked them in salted water and indeed there were no brown spots. I followed the recipe from that point on.
My result: the dish is easy and quick to make, also very cheap because of the little ingredients. The paprika added a nice crunch to it and I can imagine that it would also taste good with Brokkoli and maybe some carrots. Adding maple syrup was a good idea and really brought the meal together. Also, minimal cleanup is a plus point.
For two people, my variant could have been more, but it is definitely a nice and light summer meal. 8/10

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm a srilankan 🇱🇰 and have been a fan of you for a while now, for some reason I haven't commented you to try srilankan food which I mostly do with other food content creators 😂 so this is a big surprise for me to see srilankan food in this channel. btw we don't really use tomato paste in our curries but sometimes we use pieces of tomato, but should try this recipe as well. TYSM!
