Vankaya pulusu pachadi

This name may sound strange to many of u and familiar to some others; I don't say I am posting new invention but just sharing the dishes I know which may be new to few of u, try it for a change instead of the routine items with brinjal.The preparation is so interesting that u love making it and eating it too :)

All u need is to get big sized brinjals; apart from that, rest of them are regular items of our kitchen


INGREDIENTS:

big sized brinjal------1(select neat and clean one)
tamarind------- lemon sized
onion-----------1 medium sized
green chillies----------2
tomato----------1 medium sized
curry leaves----10-15
jeera-----------half spoon
mustard seeds---half spoon
tumeric---------half spoon
hing------------half spoon(optional)
oil-------------3-4 tsp
coriander leaves-------for garnishing
salt------------as per taste


PROCEDURE:

1.Apply oil to the brinjal(dip fingers in oil and apply that oil to the brinjal)and heat it directly on the stove(yes u read it right) till it gets soft to touch

2.Once its cooked,keep it aside to cool



3.Meanwhile,cut the chillies,onion,tomato into small pieces and keep it aside



4.Extract the juice of tamarind adding 2 small cups of water to the tamarind(take care that the juice is not too sour,take the tamarind accordingly)and add water to it

5.Now peel the skin of the brinjal(it comes out very easily as we applied oil to it)

6.Mash the peeled brinjal,add it to the tamarind extract prepared and add enough salt to the mixture

7.Put oil in kadai; add mustard seeds,jeera,chilles,curry leaves, turmeric,hing, onions,tomatoes and saute for few minutes till the tomatoes and onion gets soft,add little salt to this mixture(remember the salt added to the tamarind extract)

8.Add the brinjal tamarind mixture prepared to this kadai and cook it in low flame for 2 minutes

9.Add the coriander leaves and dish out



Preparation time:approx 30 mins      Serves: 4 persons             Tastes best with rice

Just try it for a change from your routine items with brinjal....
