Hi, I am Anupama.   I am from Tampa, Florida.  Brinjal chutney is mine and my husband's favourite.  This goes well with rice.  It is an Anhra recipe.

Brinjal Chutney

Ingredients for Cooking

Big tender brinjals: 3
garlic pods
green chillies: as per ur taste.
tamarind: 1 inch piece
tomato: 1 small

For Seasoning:
red chllies: 2
urad dal: 1 tsp
chana dal: 1tsp
mustard seeds: 1/2 tsp
jeera: 1/2 tsp
curry leaves: Few
garlic: half pod crushed.

Method:

  1. First heat the tawa.
  2. To it add some 3 tsp of oil. 
  3. Then add brinjals (cut into round pieces). 
  4. Add some salt and turmeric. 
  5. Then place a lid on it. 
  6. Add diced tomato to it. 
  7. Cook until it is soft. Almost it looks like a paste.
  8. Keep it aside. 
  9. Put some more oil in the tawa, slit green chillies in the center and fry them till good aroma.
  10. In food processor put garlic pods, jeera, fried green chillies, tamarind and grind for a minute. 
  11. Then add the fried brinjal and tomato mixture to it.  
  12. Grind it roughly.  it should not become so soft.
  13. Add little more oil to the tawa, and then add red chillies, urad dal, chana dal, mustard seeds, jeera, curry leaves until mustard seeds splatter, and garlic.
  14. Add this immediately to the chutney and place a lid to save the aroma.

Note: The same chutney can also be prepared with ridge gourd (beerakayi), tomato.

U can do the same with okra, dondakayi (i do not know what u call in English) but instead of grinding with green chillies, u should roast with red chillies.

Coriander could be added as optional taste.
