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.
