Methods of Preparation:

  1. Glaze the Brinjal/Eggplant with oil and roast in direct flame by turning side to side so the skin sears a little bit(Try this step if you have a direct flame or Gas stove)
  2. Otherwise Heat some oil in a pan and add the brinjal (cut it into pieces) and fry it until it becomes tender.
  3. Now peel the skin of the Brinjal/Eggplant and mash it .keep it aside.
  4. Extract tamarind juice(let the tamarind soak in hot water for a little bit) and add turmeric powder, salt into it and stir it .
