I had posted Brinjal Sagle, an amchi way of making stuffed brinjal. Today I post yet another version, Maharashtrian style of preparing them. [Posting this recipe which was lying in my drafts since many days now]  The below recipe is adapted from a marathi cookery show, Sugran which gets telecasted on Saam TV.



Ingredients

10 -12 baby brinjals
1 medium sized onion finely chopped

For stuffing
1/2 cup peanut, roasted
2 tbsp sesame seeds, roasted
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1 tbsp tamarind extract
1 tbsp grated jaggery
2 tsp goda masala
1 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Salt as per taste

For seasoning
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
Few curry leaves
1 medium sized onion sliced vertically

1 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves for garnish

Method:

Wash and dry brinjals. Keep the stem intact and slit each into four looking like a plus sign as seen in below pic. Soak them in bowl of salted water for half an hour.
