This is very simple to make and yet the flavour is out of this world. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

4 medium sized green eggplants/brinjals(chopped and soaked in cold water)
To make the Coriender masala
a bunch of coriender/cilantro leaves cleaned and chopped
1/2 inch piece of ginger chopped
3-4 green chillies

Preparation

Preparation15 min

Cook time25 min

In a pan, heat 2 teaspoons oil. Add mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon urad dal, and a little hing. Now add the drained chopped brinjal pieces and mix well.
Leave it on a medium flame for 4 minutes and these brinjal chunks become crispy .
At this point add salt and mix well and leave it for a minute or two.
Next, add the coriender masala and mix well for 2-3 minutes in a high flame till the chunks are coated well and all the masala seeps through the chunks.
Serve this with chapati/any bread or curd rice.
This really tastes very good with plain rice with ghee as well.
