Stuffed brinjal(using peanuts)


Stuffed eggplant can be prepared in various ways. This one has coconut and peanuts in it. Thanks to Poornima and Raksha for contributing this recipe.

Veggies: 5-6 medium-sized eggplants , 2 medium onions
Masala: Grated coconut 1 cup, 4 red chillies, some tamarind and jaggery, 1 cup roasted groundnuts, salt.

How to make:

Slit the egg plants vertically into 4 parts (do not not cut into separate pieces) and soak in water. Take some oil in a cooker and fry the onions. Grind the ingredients mentioned into  a dry n slight coarse masala. Drain the water from the soaked egg plants and fill the masala into the slits. Place them in the cooker. Pour the remaining masala and about half a cup of water. Close the lid and cook it for about 2 whistles. Stir gently after it  cools so that the brinjals remain intact. Serve hot with chapati.
