Ingredients:
5 medium sized bringals ( baby bringal are perfect )
1 big onion thinly sliced

For grinding:

1/2 tbsp grated coconut
5 shallots
3 garlic pods

1/2 tsp jeera
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pinch turmeric powder

For tempering:

1/2 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
2 red chillies
curry leaves
oil

Method:

Wash and slit open the bringals and marinate with red chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt with very little water for a few mins.
Heat 2tbsp oil in a pan and saute the bringals until half done and all the sides turn a dark colour, and keep it aside.
In the same kadai saute onions till translucent.
Add the fried bringals, ground paste, tamarind juice, salt and mix well.
Add 1/2 a cup of water and let the bringal get cooked.
