How u go on making them...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Take a bowl and soak the tamarind paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, corriander powder with salt and little water and keep them aside.
2. Heat a non stick pan and add 3 tsp of oil. Once they turn hot add mustard, cumin seeds and hing. Once the seeds begin to splutter add fenugreek seeds and fry them till brown.
3. Now add the cut onions and fry them till golden brown. Add garlic pods and fry them along. Once the raw smell goes add tomatoes and fry them till they blend well.
4. Now add the brinjals and fry them along for 4-5 mins.
5. One all the vegetables are mixed well add the tamarind and the powder extract and mix them well with the vegetables. Add curry leaves. Close the lid. Let them cook for 10mins or until oil begins to seperate. Once the vegetables are totally cooked u can remove them from the stove and transfer them to a bowl and dress them with cilantro.

Brinjal Kulambu is ready. Serve them hot with white rice and any side dishes.
U can also add grated coconut in the end which will reduce the spiciness of the dish and taste differently.
