2 tsp urad dal
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp coconut

For the seasoning:

1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp urad dal
pinch of hing
few curry leaves

Method:

1: Heat a tsp of oil and fry coriander seeds, chana dal, urad dal and pepper. After it turns slightly brown add coconut and fry. Powder it and keep aside.

2: Heat a tbsp of oil, add the ingredients for seasoning. Add brinjals, chillies and turmeric powder. Cook the brinjal in low flame adding water when needed.

3: Then add the grounded powder and required salt. When brinjals are slightly cooked, add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook well.
