I tried this brinjal kosumalli recipe from kumudham supplementary book. It is a good side dish for idiyappam , idli & dosa. It is one of the traditional Chettinad recipes. We relished with idli rava idlis. It was very tasty. My husband is not fond of brinjal recipes but he loved this kosamalli a lot. 
. Ok, Lets see how to make Chettinad special Kathirikai Kosumalli recipe with step by step pictures.
INGREDIENTS
- Brinjal – 4 nos

I do make this, but in a different way! do all the tempering (including coriander and cumin seeds) in a pressure cooker, add the veggies, pressure cook and mash it! That is Kongu style! 🙂
Nice recipe Chitra!
