Eggplant / Brinjal fry

Hello blogger friends,
I am back from my vacation. It took me a while to get into blogging mode :-). I will start with some quick fix dishes.

Here is a simple dish which I learnt from my mom.

Ingredients

5-6 small eggplants/brinjal
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
2-3 red chillies, broken into pieces
1-2 tsp sambhar masala ( can be adjusted according to your spice levels)
salt to taste

Method

  • Cut the eggplants lengthwise.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds, red chillies, urad dal. Wait until you get a nice aroma of the spices. Add the sambhar masala.
  • Add the eggplant pieces & salt. Cook on medium heat, stirring them well at regular intervals.
  • Once cooked serve hot with rotis Or rice.
