Time taken: 15 – 20 mins

Serves 2

Ingredients:

Brinjal – 1

Chilli or capsicum – 1, chopped

Onion – ¼ , chopped

Pepper and salt, to taste

Freshly scraped coconut – 2 tbsp (Optional)

Method:

Wash the brinjal and then wrap the whole brinjal, in tin foil.

Boil a half-filled saucepan of water and then drop this tin-foil wrapped brinjal in the pan to cook for 10 minutes.

After the brinjal is cooked, remove from the pan and unwrap the foil. Peel the brinjal immediately as it will otherwise be difficult to remove if cooled.
