Brinjal chutney is a tangy and delicious dish that goes well with hot idlis and dosa. It tastes excellent with ghee roast. Even those who hate brinjal will also love this dish. Eggplants are a nutrient-dense food as they contain a good amount of vitamins, minerals and fibre.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon oil
5 brinjals(eggplant)
3 medium-sized onions
5 big tomatoes
10 whole red chillies
a sprig of curry leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon salt or salt to taste
Method
Take the pan of the cooker and heat. Add oil to the heated pan and wait for 2 minutes for the oil to get heated.
