Ingredients

20 pieces Brinjal Eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thickness, 2 inch wide and 3 inch long approx
1/2 tsp Chilly powder Berbere Berbere is very mild african/ethiopian chilli powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1 clove Garlic if American Size
3 nos cloves if Indian size
1/2 cup Chick pea flour Basin
1/2 tsp Coriander seeds roasted and powdered
1 tsp Parampara Pav bhaji masala
1/2 tsp Cummin seeds roasted and powdered

1/2 tsp Black Salt
1/2 cup Walnuts crushed coarse
1 or Brown Sugar jaggery
1/4 to Lemon/Lime
Water to make a thick paste of all the above
Oil to mix with paste and to fry

Instructions

Make holes on the top of the brinjal pieces to put the stuffing/paste in. Scooping out a small portion of the seeds will be enough, by keeping the skin on other side intact.
Mix the folowing items: chilly powder, turmeric powder, garlic, chick pea flour, coriander powder, parampara masala, cummin powder, amchur, walnuts, brown sugar, lemon and water. Make a paste.
Fill the hole on brinjal pieces with this stuffing.
Put some oil on a hot flat thick bottomed pan. Thick bottom ensures the heat will be uniformly spread. If the pan is thin, periodically move it so that all areas are evenly heated.
Make sure the heat is very low. The heat should be low because the brinjal will take 20 to 40 minutes to fry.
Place brinjal on the pan with the stuffing facing up.
Cover it and fry on low heat for 20 - 40 minutes.
When the egg plant gets cooked it is done.
