  • Coconut - 1 cup

How to Make Stuffed Pepper Brinjal

  • First cut the brinjal in a criss-cross manner without cutting it fully down to the bottom so that we have to stuff the ingredients.
  • Fry the channa dal, urad dal, pepper and red chilli in a frying pan with little oil until it is brown.
  • Grind it in the blender with the fresh grated coconut coarsely.
  • Then stuff this ground items in the brinjal and keep the remaining masala.
  • In the pan, put oil. Let it splutter. Add the mustard seeds, methi seeds and the curry leaves.
  • Add the stuffed brinjals to this and fry until it is done.
  • Do not worry if the stuffing comes out. But make sure that the brinjal is well done because if you add the tamarind to the mixture, the brinjal won't cook.
  • After making sure the brinjal is well-done, add tamarind, turmeric powder and let it simmer for 10 - 15 mins.
  • After the smell of tamarind is gone, add the leftover masala to the mixture and let it thicken.
  • Serve it with hot rice or ghee rice.
