Brinjal masala

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

Some times, I don't understand to name the food I prepared. I don't know what name should I give to this food so just given as Brinjal Masala.

I tried this without any plan. But it came out very good. And I loved it with hot rice and pickle.

These long hybrid brinjals are not regular in our place. We get those purple round small and big ones. So when ever I see these, I bring home. I make Sambhar or normal dry sabji with tomato and onion. But this time, I thought of trying something new and I was not sure that what I am going to do. I just opened the spice box and checked what is available.

I  came out with this recipe:

Ingredients :

Brinjal - 3, cut into round slices and kept in the water

Tomato - 1 big, grated

Oil  - 1 tsp

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Turmeric powder - a pinch

Jaggery - 1 tsp

Water - 1/4 cup

Dry roast and powder:

Dry red chilly - 3

Dry coriander seeds - 1 tsp

Sesame seeds - 1 tsp

Dry coconut - 2 tbsp

Heat oil in a kadai.

Add mustard seeds. Once splutter, add tomato and masala powder. Mix well.

Add the brinjal slices. Fry for some time.

Add all other ingredients with 1/4 cup of water. Mix well and cook till the brinjals are soft. It takes very less time(5 to 7 minutes).

Adjust the seasoning.

Have with chapati or rice.
