Lunch menu on a daily basis need not be complicated it can be simple also and one such gravy item is this badanekai gojju recipe. In our home we make it not very often but we do make it then and there when we decide to make the lunch very simple.They make this sutta kathirikai gothsu for lunch to go along with rice. we can make it spicy or moderately spicy and the reason for adding both the chillies is to increase the spiciness. Mostly I make it little spicier and when having it with hot rice I add some nallenai

or ghee and enjoy it with a simple appalam of my own choice. we can make this gothsu using any medium-sized brinjals or even the bigger ones. The real tip is that the brinjal should be fresh and tender without any seeds. when adding tamarind extract use it correctly otherwise it will become more tangy and as we use tamarind I have used jaggery for balance.This badanekai gojju recipe is very easy to make and roasting the brinjal is the most important part that we can’t skip.

Notes

I have used medium sized brinjals, if you are using the big violet once then you should alter the spice amount accordingly.
Adding jaggery is for balance but its optional.
I have finely minced the small onions and chillies but you can add it as finely chopped onions.
Use only gingelly oil for this recipe for exact taste.
