To Grind:

Cooking method:
1. Heat oil in a kadai and pour oil in it.
2. Once the oil is heated, add mustard to it. Once the mustard splutters, add the Onion and curry leaves to it and saute for some time. Add a pinch of salt here to accelerate the process of frying the onion.
3. Once the onion starts to change colour to golden, add the brinjal pieces, and fry for sometime. Remember to keep stirring occasionally as there are chances of sticking to the kadai.
4. After 5 minutes of cooking, add the coconut-garlic paste and mix well. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes till the raw taste of the coconut mixture goes away.
