Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

2. Drain the water, and smash the cooked brinjal and other stuff in a blender/mixi/ladle.

5. Let it boil for 5 mins. Now add the idly/dosai batter, which is mixed well and made thin by adding 7 tsp of water.

Note:

Another variety of side dish for idly, and dosai. Instead of making the same chutney's, try different varieties....Very healthy food too.....
