Brinjal Rasavangi
Rasavangy literally means brinjals in a fluid gravy. While it is a traditional south indian recipe, many believe that it demonstrates a strong maharashtrian influence perhaps because of the selection of spices, or because of the tanginess brought about by dhania! this is an excellent accompaniment for idli or cooked rice.

Instructions
For the paste
  1. Heat the oil in a small pan, add all the ingredients and sauté on a slow flame till they release flavour, while stirring continuously (approx. 5 to 7 minutes).
  2. When cool, add 2 tbsp of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste. Keep aside.
How to proceed
  1. Combine the toovar dal and 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles.
  2. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Whisk the dal lightly and keep aside.
  3. Heat the ghee in a kadhai and add the mustard seeds.
  4. When the seeds crackle, add the green chillies, curry leaves, tomatoes, brinjals and salt, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
  5. Add the turmeric powder, sambhar powder, tamarind water and jaggery, mix well, cover and cook on a medium flame till the brinjal is cooked, stirring once in between.
  6. Add the cooked dal and prepared paste, mix gently and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes, while stirring once in between. Serve hot garnished with coriander.
