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.  Smile  . Ok, Lets see how to make Chettinad special Kathirikai Kosumalli recipe with step by step pictures.

INGREDIENTS
  • Brinjal – 4 nos
  • Potato – 1 no
  • Tomato – 2 nos
  • Small onion – 20 nos
  • Tamarind – Berry size
  • Green chillies – 4 – 6 nos

To temper

  • Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
  • Urad dal – 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves – few
  • Red chillies – 2 nos

To garnish

  • Coriander leaves – few
METHOD
  • Slit brinjal into 4 pieces & cut the potato into two pieces. Pressure cook brinjal & potato for 2 whistles. Reserve the cooked water. Remove the skin of brinjal & potato and mash them well. Soak tamarind in warm water & take the extract. Set aside.

    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!
