Brinjal Peanut Masala

I remembered watching a cookery show sometime back and thought I would try that recipe. The dish turned out great. This is how I did:

• In little oil, fry 1 Tbsp peanuts & 1 Tbsp white sesame seeds separately. Fine grind this.
• In the same pan, fry Brinjals in oil and set aside. (you can deep fry or shallow fry. I shallow fried with little liberal oil)
• In the same oil, add mustard seeds, 1 tsp of jeera(cumin seeds)
• When spluttering stops, add curry leaves
• Add half green chily chopped and 1 red chilly
• Add 1 chopped Onion and fry until translucent (not brown)
• Add 1 Tbsp ginger-garlic paste, fry for few seconds
• Add 1 tsp turmeric powder and salt per taste
• Add 1 chopped Tomato and fry for a min and cover and cook until tomato is half cooked
• Add 1 Tbsp of coriander powder and 1 tsp of red chilly powder
• Add the fried brinjals and cover and cook until oil oozes out. Stir occasinally
• When the gravy is fully done, add the ground powder, mix and cover. Turn off the stove.
• Let the pot stay on the hot stove for 5 mins.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.
• Sit back and relax. Serve hot with rice or chapathi.
