Spicy Brinjals

Usually this dish is made by slitting the brinjals and filling them with the spices, but since the brinjals were partially rotten, I had to cut the bits up but the spices and the preparation were the same.

You need:-
* 5 to 6 small brinjals
* olive oil - 2 tbsp
* salt to taste
(all of the following - 1tbsp)
* cumin powder
* garam masala
* coriander powder
* turmeric powder
* Aamchur

Method:-
Cut the brinjals to tiny pieces.
Heat olive oil in a pan. Add all the spices and saute until the mixture no longer smells raw.
If chopped to pieces, then add the brinjal to the pan and cook until tender.

Another way of doing it is as follows, if the brinjals are hale and healthy.
Make 2 cuts lengthwise such that the brinjal opens like a 4-petalled flower, held together by its stem. Mix all the spices with salt and spread generously within the brinjals. Heat the olive oil in a pan and saute until the brinjals are cooked.

This dish is best served with roti.
