Solkadhi

Ingredients:
4-5 brinjals(vaange,baingan),1/2 cup roasted peanuts,1/2 cup water,1 tablespoon roasted sesame seed,1/4 teaspoon turmeric,1/2 tablespoon red chili powder,1/2 tablespoon coriander powder,1/4 tablespoon cumin seed powder,1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste,1/2 onion finely chopped,1/2 tablespoon garam masala,3 tablespoon oil,salt to taste.

Time:30-40 mins.

Method:

1.First grind peanuts to coarse and make powder of sesame seed.Mix all dry ingredients together , add ginger-garlic paste mix it again,due to ginger garlic paste it becomes wet so that we can fill it the brinjal.keep aside.
2.Take the brinjals wash and cut brinjal in four parts upto stem,don't separate it.Now take the masala(stuffing) which we have mixed in step 1 and fill it through all brinjals,if you have some leftover masala keep it.
3.Keep one pan on medium heat add oil,when oil becomes hot,leave all brinjals one by one in the oil and spread remaining masala on the top,cover it,lower the heat(between medium to low).
4.After 5-7 mins turn all brinjals to other side,again cover it for 5 mins. from this point turn it occasionally for another 5 mins. leave 1 tablespoon oil around it,check the brinjal cooked or not by inserting fork into the brinjal.If its done,add water and stir slowly(if you want to make dry add little water or if u want gravy add more,I have made it dry)& lastly add garam masala leave it uncovered for 5 mins.Granish with some cilantro and serve hot with chapati.

Tip:This dish you cant cook on high heat,taste of this dish lies in slow cooking on low heat.
