Brinjal Stuffed Salad

Hi Friends

Today I am coming with a yummy and delicious dish ie Brinjal stuffed salad. Normally we use these eggplants/brinjals/vankaya for fry, curry, bajji, gutti vankaya and also for sambar. Today I thought of preparing a variety dish ie brinjal stuffed salad. It can be made with variety of stuffing. Very easy to prepare and takes little time to prepare. Brinjals should be fresh and shiny.

I am posting today is with purple ones which are long. Let us go ahead and prepare the dish.

How I did it    
                                           

1. Wash and pat dry the egg plant. Keep the stalks.
2. Take bowl add pinch of salt and water.
3. Cut each eggplant into 4 sections length wise without cutting the crown from bottom in  both directions without breaking them.
4. Drop of eggplant in salty water bowl.
5. Take kadai add oil and let it heat.
6. Deep fry eggplant and keep aside.
7. Meantime blend together roasted putna, coriander seeds, red chilli powder, cumin seeds, garlic and chopped onion and salt into paste.
8. Add little oil in the kadai. Heat it and add ground masala and fry till raw smell of onion goes off.
9. Switch of the stove .Let it cool.
10. Take each fried eggplant and stuff with this masala.
11. Arrange stuffed eggplants on a plate and top it with the remaining masala if any.

Mouth watering. Isn't it. Try it today.

My notes

• Serve gently with wide spoon without breaking. It looks nice to see and eat.
• It can be eaten as salad or with rice as a side dish.
