Brinjal thokku





My husband hates brinjal and I love it! It is so true that "opposite poles always attract"!
Anyway prepared this thokku for today's breakfast as a sidedish for Dosa..The brinjal blended well that he couldnt even make it. A sour spicy sidedish recipe!

Brinjal - 1 cup(cut medium sized cubes)
onion-1/4 cup
Green chillies-4 slit longitudinally
Tomato- chopped 1/2 cup
Jeera/ cumin seeds-1 tsp
Tamarind paste -1/2 tsp
Salt-1 tbsp
Turmeric powder -a pinch
Chilli powder- 1 tsp
oil-1 tbsp


Fry cumin seeds, onion and green chillies in  oil. Once the onion turns golden brown, add the chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric poserd and red chilli powder, now add the chopped brinjal and fry till it is mushy. Add oil in between if required, now add the tamarind paste, some water. Till it is completely mushy. You can add a pinch of jaggery to enhance the taste. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Yumm side dish for dosa and rotis ;)
