| 1. Wash the brinjals well, cut the stem, leaving the canopy in place and cut 3/4 of the length of each brinjal into a criss cross, leaving the attached at the other end. | 2. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a thick and wide pan and add the brinjals. | 3. Sprinkle some salt and leave the brinjals to cook until well done and soft. | 4. In the meantime roast the peanuts and sesame seeds. | 5. Switch off the flame and fry the coconut powder in the hot pan with the heat off. | 6. Using just enough oil roast coriander, cumin and red chillies. | 7. Pricked to a fork or knife, roast the onions on a low flame with the peel. | 8. Allow the roasted onions to cool and remove the peel. | 9. Blend all of the roasted ingredients along with the turmeric powder. | 10. Once all of the ingredients are powdered finely, add the peeled onions, ginger and 1/4 cup of water and blend again until it turns into a fine thick paste. | 11. Transfer the cooked brinljals to another container leaving the oil behind (if there is any). | 12. In the same pan heat two tablespoons of oil and add the paste, red chilli powder and tamarind extract. | 13. Add water if necessary. | 14. Add salt and cook until the raw smell of the tamarind is gone. | 15. Add the cooked brinjals and cook on a low flame until the oil separates, by continuously stirring them, without breaking the brinjals. | 16. Garnish with the chopped coriander/cilantro leaves before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
