Brinjal-Tomato chutney


Ingredients:

Chinese egg plant :2 (cut into 1 inch pieces)
Tomato : 1 large (finely cut)
Garlic loves : 2
Cilantro : 1/4 cup finely cut
Tamarind extract : 2 spoons
Salt : 3/4 spoon
Green chillies : 4
Oil : 2 spoon
Mustard seeds : 1/2 spoon
Urad dal : 1/2 spoon

Method :

Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let it pop.
Add urad dal. Let it turn brown color.
Add green chillies, finely cut tomato, cut egg plant and salt.
Sprinkle very little water and close the lid.
Let it cook until done. Mix well.
Let it cool down.
Pulse the above mixture by adding garlic and tamarind extract in the blender. Do not add water.
garnish with cilantro.

Tip: You can season with onion, red chillies and curry leaves. I have not done this as it requires extra oil :-).. I like to cook healthy food and avoid oil/salt as much as I can.
