Add the salt,let the mixture gets cooked well in a medium flame for 10-12 minutes or till the raw smell goes off.Finally sprinkle the coriander leaves and put off the flame.


Serve it after an hour to get the flavors incorporate well.

  • Here I used a small size ball of tamarind,if you are using tamarind paste use around a tbs.
  • Use small round brinjals to get evenly cooked.
  • The amount of red chilly powder given is for perfect spicy,you can alter it according to your preference.
