Wash them and keep aside. Grind grated coconut, fried red chillies, tamarind and salt. Dont puree the masala and dont add too much water to grind, keep it dry. Now add fried fenugreek and coriander seeds and grind for few seconds more. Stuff this masala in the slits of the baby brinjals and save the remaining masala. Wash the blender with little water and save the water separately. In a heavy frying pan add 4 table spoon oil, heat and add mustard seeds. Once seeds start to splutter add curry leaves and give it a stir. Now add the chopped onion to this and fry until onion turns golden brown. Then transfer the stuffed baby brinjals to the frying pan and pour the ramaining masala over them and fry for 5 minutes mixing occassionally. Now add the saved water, cover and cook. Stir occaassionally and make sure masala is not adhering to the bottom of the pan. You may add extra water if neccessary. Cook until brinjals appear soft and cooked and all the water has evoparated. At the end the preparation should be dry! Serve with cooked rice and daal. Enjoy! |
