Name: Brinjal Pachdi Complexity Level: Very easy Duration of preparation : 15 minutes Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

Brinjals	¼ kg
Curd	500 g
Onion	1 large
Green chillies	4
Ginger paste	¼ teaspoon
Coriander leaves	For garnishing
Asafoedita powder / paste	Little
Salt	To taste

Method of preparation:

Cut the brinjals into medium sized pieces, and boil them in water on medium – high flame for 10 minutes, till the water starts simmering. Strain the water, and let the cooked brinjals cool down.

Add the ginger paste and Asafoedita powder / paste to the curd, and ensure that they are properly dissolved in the curd. Cut onion, green chillies and coriander leaves. Add them, along with the brinjals to the curd. Mash all the ingredients in the curd, either using a sauté / table spoon, or better (and simpler) with your (clean!!) hands. Add salt to taste

Brinjal pachdi is ready. Goes well with chapattis and rice.

PS: You can also add a little bit of tadka to it, if it suits you. It adds to the taste
