Another recipe- Brinjal curry

Here’s another recipe, this time I took a photograph of the curry without forgetting!
It takes a good one hour to prepare, but it’s worth the effort.

Ingredients:

Brinjals-9 (the small variety)
Tamarind juice-3 tsps
Jaggery – 2 tsps
Coriander seeds-2 tsps
Mustard seeds-1tsp
Peanuts-2tsps
Cumin seeds –1 tsp
Raw coconut-quarter cup
Onion – 1 (finely chopped)
Coriander power – 1 tsp
Chilli powder – ½ tsp
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Salt – as required
Oil

Method:

Fry the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peanuts and cumin seeds in a little oil and grind them to a fine paste along with the raw coconut.
Remove the stems of the brinjals and make two perpendicular slits to each of them. Fry the brinjals till they are tender and keep them aside.
Fry onions and add turmeric, chilli and coriander powders. Now, add the above paste, the tamarind juice and jaggery and add some water if required. Add the fried brinjals and cook for two minutes. Voila! The curry is ready!
