Brinjal Salna
Brinjal Salna
Dry roast the peanuts, sesame seeds, and the fenugreek seeds before blitzing them into a powder. Set this aside.
Slit the brinjal, but don't cut it all the way through. If you are using eggplant, chop up half into cubes. In a pan, heat some oil and allow the peppercorns and curry leaves to sputter. Add the brinjal, saute for a few minutes and cook covered for about 5-10 minutes.
Add sambar and turmeric powder and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the tamarind extract and bring it to boil. When the gravy has thickened, add the ground peanut mix. Add the jaggery/sugar and check the taste for salt.
Cook for another 10 minutes. Take it off heat and garnish with coriander leaves.
