  • Trim the heads of the brinjals and make four slits from the top without separating the segments and make a small slit on the bottom. Transfer them in a bowl with water. To make the masala, take coconut in a large parat¸ add peanuts, red chilli powder, goda masala, salt, coriander leaves, jaggery, tamarind pulp and mix well. Generously stuff each brinjal with the masala. Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds and let them change colour. Add asafoetida and turmeric powder and sauté for a few seconds. Add the stuffed brinjals along with the masala and sauté on high heat for 3-4 minutes or till the brinjals turn slightly golden brown. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 2 minutes.
