Brinjal Vepudu

This was a recipe from my friend.

It is kind of semidry, which can used as a side dish for rotis or just like a palya.

Ingredients

Serves 4 adults

Salt – as per taste

Long green brinjals – 8 (medium sized)

Oil –  4tbsp (as much as required for brinjal to get cooked as we do not use water)

Vangi bath powder – 2tbsp

Chilli powder – ¼ tsp

Tamarind juice – 2tbsp 

Onion – 1 small  sliced

Curry leaves and mustard for seasoning

Procedure

• Slice the brinjal into thin long pieces and add it to water for 5 mins and keep aside.

• Heat oil in thick bottomed kadai and add the mustard and curry leaves and sliced onion and fry for 2 minutes.

• Then remove the brinjal from water and add to the above and add little salt and close the kadai with a lid.

• After few minutes add the vangi bath powder and chilli powder and tamarind juice and again close the lid and cook for sometime.After every 2 min keep mixing.

• Cook till the brinjals get cooked.
