1 Big Brinjal (6 small bringals will also do)
3 Green Chillies cut into small pieces
Salt to taste
Mustard seeds 1 tsp
Oil 1 tsp
Urad dhal 1 tsp
Channa dhal 1 tsp
Coriander leaves
Curry leaves
Yogurt or thick curd 4 cups

Method:

1. Apply oil on the brinjal and allow it to bake in 350 Degrees in the Oven for about 20 minutes. Keep it for some more time if the brinjal is not soft enough to peel the skin.
2. Meantime put oil in the pan, put the mustard seeds. After the seed splutter add urad dhal, channa dhal, green chillies and curry leaves.
3. Fry the above till the dhal turn brown colour. Remove from stove and put it in a vessel.
4. Add the Yogurt and salt to the above.
5. Peel the skin of brinjal after taking off from the oven.
6. Add the pealed brinjal to the mixture and smash it till the brinjal gets mixed up well with the yogurt. Add the coriander leaves to it.
7. Serve it with Rice.

Note: You can fry the brinjal/brinjals in oil in the pan till it becomes soft so that you can peel the skin off instead of baking it in Oven.
