Fresh Aubergine Ravia Long, also known as Long Brinjal, Baingan, Vankaya and Kathirikai, is a slender deep-purple aubergine widely used in Indian and international cooking. Its thin skin, mild flavour and silky texture when cooked make it particularly suitable for curries, grilling, roasting and stir-fries. Find it in our Everyday Vegetables collection or browse all fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
Slice lengthways and grill with oil and spices, or use in Vankaya Masala Curry with onion, tomato and peanut gravy. Long aubergine also works well in Baingan Masala, miso-glazed aubergine, ratatouille and aubergine fry with turmeric and chilli.
What is the difference between long and round aubergine?
Long aubergines generally have a slender shape and thin skin, making them convenient for slicing, grilling and quick cooking.
How can I reduce bitterness?
Salt the sliced aubergine briefly, then rinse and pat dry before cooking.
Can I freeze aubergine?
Yes. Slice and blanch it before freezing, then use it in cooked dishes.
