Stuffed Brinjal



             


Tell me who doesn't like Brinjal? It is definitely one of those rare vegetables which is available in different shapes and is most experimental friendly. Recently I tried stuffed brinjal and we gulped every piece in just minutes. Now let me give you my recipe so that you can try it at your home! 

Ingredients

Small Brinjal 7-8
Peanuts- 1 cup
fenugreek- 1/3 cup
Red mirchi 2-3
Tamarind Extract 1 tea spoon
Coriander
Dhania powder
Masala powder

Cook it-

Slit brinjal across with the stem on. Essential cut it in the base. Soak the cut brinjals in Salt water for 20 minutes. 

Now heat a small pan and fry peanuts. Add fenugreek and red mirchi and fry until they turn little brown. Add this mix into a blender. Add little salt, tamarind extract and very little water to make it into a gravy. blend it to form into a thick paste. 

Now, using a knife, add the this paste into brinjals carefully. Heat a pan and add 2 tea spoons of oil. Fry brinjals holding stems until the brinjals are fried lightly. Place the brinjals in a microwave bowl and cook them for 10 minutes. Turn the brinjals after 5 minutes so that they are cooked equally in all sides.

Now heat 1-2 tea spoons oil in pan and add remaining mix from the blender and add brinjals from microwave. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes. Slowly keep toppling brinjals so that they get cooked evenly and don't break. Add coriander and serve with hot Rice.

Isn't it yummy?????
