Serves: 3

Ingredients

2 cup brinjal slices

1 cup coconut powder

1/4 cup roasted peanuts

1 cup curd/yogurt

1/2 teaspoon garlic paste

1/2 teaspoon ginger paste

2 teaspoon green chillies paste

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

Method

Take a bowl filled with water. Cut the top of brinjal and cut into ¼ inch slices. Keep it in water to protect it from turning black.

Take a pan and heat oil. Add cumin seeds and let it crackle. Add brinjal slices and shallow fry it till it turns brown on both the sides.

Till then, make coconut-peanuts gravy. Take coconut powder, peanuts, curd and grind it to make gravy. Add about ¼ cup water to make it into thin consistency.

Add garlic-ginger paste, green chillies, salt to fried brinjal and mix it well. Add gravy and cook it for about 4-5 minutes. Add some water if necessary to cook it well.

Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve it with roti, paratha or rice.
