Instructions to make Ennai Kathirikai (Oily Brinjal):
  1. Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a kadhai, in medium flame add Chana dal and soon Urad dal fry till they both get light golden brown in colour.
  2. Now add and fry coriander seeds along with cumin seeds, black pepper and 2 Kashmiri red chillies (for less spiciness and rich colour).
  3. Once spices start smelling good, add fenugreek seeds and poppy seeds on low flame. Mix and cook well and let the contents cool down
  4. Once cool, transfer the paste to mixer and include coconut powder and grind the same for thinning the paste. Keep aside.
  5. In boiling water put Tamarind and then later on cooling squeeze the tamarind and liquid can be used as Tamarind pulp. Keep aside(sorry didn't realised pic too flashy).
  6. Brinjals should be soaked in water, cleaned and kept aside too. Then take 3 Tablespoons of oil once heated add mustard seeds and once they crackle add curry leaves and asafoetida, mix well.
  7. Add brinjals in low medium flame and saute them till they change colour and some blisters are formed.
  8. Add turmeric and red chillies powder, mix well then add masala paste to it stirring and mix it very well. Now add tamarind pulp to it, cook for some time.
  9. Now add one cup or more water as per gravy consistency, as I eat with Parathas I make it thick with less gravy and for readers having it with rice can add more water, add salt and bit of sugar, then cover in low sim flame.
  10. Then once cooked serve hot with parathas or steamed rice.
