Step 4
Remove from heat and grind them to a fine powder and keep aside.
Step 5
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan.
Step 6
Add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add brinjal pieces and saute for some time till they become little soft.

Add 2 cups of tamarind water, salt, asafoetida, curry leaves and boil till the raw smell of tamarind exudes.
Step 8
Add ground masala powder, jaggery and stir well.
