Stuffed Kathrikaai

Kathrikaai in Tamil, Baingan in Hindi, Aubergine in English, Badanekaai in Kannada
I tried & it came out very well....It is just like yengai ( a Karnataka dish but prepared in a simple way) ... Suitable for hot phulkas / chapati's





Ingredients
  • Small Eggplants / Katharikaai - 8 to 10
  • Yengai Powder - 10 to 15tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil - 1/4 cup
  • Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
  • 1 strand curry leaves
  • Asafoetida / Hing - 1/4 tsp
  • Tamarind paste - 1 tsp
  • Jaggery - 1/2 tsp
Method
  • Wash the kathrikaai / baingan and slit the 4 sides
  • Take a bowl mix yengai powder and salt. Fill it in the kathrikaai
  • Place it in the pressure cooker. Cook for one whistle.
  • Heat wok add oil. Add mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida
  • Add kathrikaai. Cooked in the oil well.
  • Add 2 tsp yengai powder, salt to taste, tamarind paste, jaggery & stirfry
  • Ready to serve
Update : Based on all the comments i got for this recipe i would like to share that Yengai powder is nothing like Vangibaath powder. I prepared this at home.
I will be adding all masala powders recipes to my blog shortly.

    Lovely dish. I imagine that the combination of spice, sourness, sweet and salt must be great.
