Gulla sagle is one of most popular/favourite dish of amchis. You can use small purple brinjals too instead of green brinjals. We use drum sticks to increase the taste of this dish. But it is not necessary to add this. You can prepare this dish only using brinjals too. I don't like brinjal actually. But i like the aroma & taste of this masala very much . You can adjust jaggery according to your taste.
INGREDIENTS:-
gulla/small green eggplants - 6
drumstick pieces - 10
grated coconut - 1/2
red chillies - 5
tamarind - small chana size
jaggery - depend on your taste (i used 2 cherry sized)
curry leaves - 2 strands
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
coriander seeds - 2 tsp
methi seeds/fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp
oil - 1 tbsp
salt to taste
METHOD:-
1. Wash eggplants(gulla) & slit them into 4 portions.
2. In a tadka pan, fry methi seeds & coriander seeds & keep them aside.
3. Grind together grated coconut+redchillies+tamarind+jaggery+salt to a coarse paste (do not add much water). At the end add fried methi seeds+coriander seeds & grind it again to a coarse paste (this is very important).
4. Now fill this paste into slitted egg plants & mix remaining paste with drum sticks & keep aside.
5. Heat oil in a non-stick pan, when hot add mustard seeds. When it starts spluttering add curry leaves. When curry leaves slightly changes its colour add stuffed brinjal carefully one by one & drum sticks. Pour the remaining masala on top.
6. Add little water and cover the lid & cook.
7. Serve hot with rice & daalithoy(this is amchis favourite combo)/ chapathis.
HAPPY COOKING :))))))
