Gotsu
Ingredients
1 medium eggplant
1/2 tbsp tamarind paste
1 large onion, chopped
2 tomato, diced
6 hot green chillies, slit & cut into, pieces
1 curry leaves
1 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 garlic (opt)
1 salt, to taste
3 tbsp oil
Preparation
Chop the eggplant into very tiny pieces. Heat oil, add mustard seeds,
when popping add curry leaves, chillies, onions and fry till onions
become translucent. Add tomatoes and eggplant and fry for another
five minutes. If using tamarind paste add a cup and half of water, or
pour equal quantity of extract from fresh pulp. Throw in the
turmeric, salt and garlic. Let it simmer for a while until eggplant
becomes really soft and is barely able to retain its shape. Remove
from heat.
Tomato-Onion Gotsu
More tomatoes can be substituted instead of the eggplant for a tomato-
onion gotsu. Add more chillies if necessary.
