60 Brinjal Eggplant (Wambatu Moju) Though I ate many Sri Lankan dishes, the candied brinjal eggplant (black stuff towards the right) was one that I couldn’t get enough of. Though I ate it like a curry when I was in Sri Lanka, it’s actually referred to more as a pickle. The eggplant is cooked to death with salt, oil, soy sauce, and sugar until it becomes fall apart tender and the sugar begins to caramelize. Though I’m not the biggest fan of sweet things, this eggplant was to die for, and I tried to eat it with every plate of rice and curry that I had. Joy feelings magazine
