Method

Dry roast the sesame seeds, methi seeds and grind it along with roasted peanuts in to a powder.

Wash and cut the brinjals to 4 cuts, do not cut them fully.


In a kadai heat oil, add mustard seeds after it splutters add cumin seeds, crushed black pepper, curry leaves.
Now add the onions and saute until golden brown.

Now add the brinjals, toss it in the oil  and cook it covered for about 5 -7 min. Open it and add the red chilli powder(add more if you want it spicy), coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt and give a good stir. Turn the stove to low flame and wait for the raw smell of the chilli powder to go away.


Now add the tamarind water and the ground paste and bring it to boil. The gravy will start thickening wait for the oil to ooze out, which takes about 5-8 min.


Finally garnish with curry leaves and switch off the stove.

Yummy spicy and delicious biryani kathrikkai is ready to be served. Serve it with biryani, kushka or pulav.
