This delightful Sri Lankan specialty strikes a perfect balance between savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, making it a versatile and flavorful addition to any meal. It pairs wonderfully with rice, bread, or can even be enjoyed on its own as a tasty snack.
What makes eggplant moju even more appealing is its nutritional value. The main ingredient, eggplant, is rich in vitamins and minerals, offering numerous health benefits. Garlic, another key component of this dish, is known for its immune-boosting properties. Additionally, vinegar, a crucial ingredient in the pickling process, aids in digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
