Kathirikai masala

Brinjal 4 nos. Medium sized. (striped ones preferred)
cut the vegetable vertically into four petals without separating it from the calyx, it will be like a bloomed flower now(not stretched wide). Now prepare masala, to stuff it inside the cut brinjal.
Jeeragam 2 tbsp
coconut shredded 1 cup
turmeric pdr 1/2 tbsp
green chilli 2 nos.
grind the above ingredients so that it becomes a nice chutney. No need to add water.
Add salt to taste in the mixture and stuff in between the cut brinjals, as much as u like.. then heat oil in a fry pan, shallow fry the brinjals. When the brinjal turns out to be brown, its cooked.
Serve with rice and Sambar or Rasam.
