First ,take a pan add peanuts and dry roast peanuts until they are half done, then add coconut and roast until coconut changes into light golden color.(don't over roast them)

Now add sesme seeds and roast for few seconds on medium flame and remove fire.

Now soak tamarind in water for 15 to 20 minutes,squeeze and take out the juice.

Now take brinjals and make deep cross cuts as shown in the pics and drop them water by adding some salt.

Now heat oil in a pan, take brinjals and wipe with kitchen towel and drop them in oil.

Now fry until they are 80% cooked and take them into a plate and keep a side.

Now in same pan,add mustard seeds,fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds, let them splutter.

Now add chillies and curry leaves,saute for few seconds,then add onion paste and Ginger garlic paste,saute for 3 to 5 minutes.

Now add all spice powders and saute from 2 to 3 minutes on medium flame.

Now add peanut and coconut paste along with 1/2 cup of water and stir constantly until oil leaves pan sides.

Now add 2 to 3 cups of water mix it well, cover with lid and let it boil for 5 minutes. (add more water if required)

Now add fried brinjals? Add some more water if gravy is thick and cook for another 5 minutes.

Now add tamarind juice and cook for 5 more minutes and simmer the flame and cook until oil floats on top. Finally sprinkle chopped coriander and remove from fire and serve hot.

Note: stirring in between is very important otherwise your curry may burn.


Adjust gravy consistency as per your taste and add more water and cook.But I like thick gravy.
