1inch piece-cinamon


4-cloves


2-cardomoms


1/2 tesp-cumin seeds


1tesp-chilli powder


1/2tesp-turmeric powder


oil -1tebsp


How to make this curry:-


Heat oil in a deep frying pan [may be 1 cup oil] in the mean while slit brinjals into 4 and apply some (a pinch ) salt in side the brinjal and deep fry them in hot oil till brinjal changes the colour remove from oil drain and keep a side.


Heat 1teb sp oil in a pan add cinamon ,clove ,cardomom,cumin seeds let them crackle,now add chopped onion and fry till soft


Now add ground masala and fry till the raw smell disappear now add brinjals,salt to taste and chilli powder,turmeric powder 1/2 cup water and mix well and let it cook till gravy becomes thick
