Instructions
For the Stuffing Masala Paste
- Heat a pan and add in the peanut oil. Add in the sesame seeds, peanuts and chana dal. Saute on a low flame until the chana dal is slightly golden in colour.
- Add in the coconut, onion and the tamarind. Add in the dried red chilies. Fry for a minute.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Once cool, grind in a small mixie jar to a smooth paste. Add very little water (a couple of tablespoons) while grinding.
For the Ennai Kathirikkai
- Remove ¾th of the stem from the brinjal. Cut the brinjal in a cross. Stuff the brinjal on the inside with the ground paste. Set aside.
