  • Cut the onions into fine pieces. Add the ground masala, to the onions and mix well.
  • Wash the brinjal and pat dry it. Take out the top portion. Slit the brinjal and do not cut them fully. We need to stuff the filling into it. Stuff 1 tbsp of the filling into the slit eggplant.
  • Stuff the masala inside the brinjals carefully, till the tip of the brinjal. Use it according to the size of the brinjal.
  • Heat a kadai, put oil in the kadai and add the mustard seeds. When it splutters, add the stuffed brinjals carefully . Close it with a vessel filled with water.
