BRINJAL GOTHSU, KATHRIKAI GOTHSU

Brinjal gothsu is prepared in tamarind gravy with some tomatoes and onions.  this can be served with idli, dosa, chapati too.  It is a simple preparation and will be loved by everyone. I made it slightly in a different way and it was too good to have with dosa and chapati.

Here I am sharing my version of gothsu.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
salt
oil - 2 tbsp

Tempering:

mustard seeds 1 tsp
hing powder - a generous pinch

METHOD:
