Udumalpet Eggplant
An heirloom 3-4”long, oval eggplant with striking purple and white stripes. Originally from the town of Udumalpet in the Tiruppur district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.. Has a rich, meaty texture when cooked down with traditional South Asian spices.
We’ve had a few customers in past years get so excited seeing this eggplant variety because it was named after their hometown. Yet they were not familiar with this exact variety. However, many traditional Tamil recipes include eggplant, such as this ennai kathirikai recipe. We think this would be the perfect eggplant for this recipe!
