  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.
