My mayi makes Gojju…..mash brinjal, add hing in generous amount [the amchigele way ], ground green chillies, salt and coconut oil phanna of mustard seeds.

My aai makes the way sakhee does but minus the coconut and an optional tadka of mustard seeds and little hing. The tadka must be cooled before adding to the bhareet (as we call it) to avoid making the curd go sour.

U can try out this also.

Same after smoking and mashing the brinjal with hand. Just had finely chopped onion,(one medium size) grated coconut (1/2 cup)green chilly according to taste and curd. Garnish it with green fresh coriander and salt to taste. This too tastes great.

I had never eaten the the one with red chillis and onions, i made it last evening, and i also loved the taste as the normal one. I never knew we could also make it with red chillis. Thanks to your aayi for a different version. Thanks to you too for posting the comment and the bydgi chillis for the taste and colour.

Krithika, let me know how you liked it.
Gowri, I think you are talking about “vayngana bajji” which is eaten with mumbri. In that dish coconut is not ground to chutney. I will post it soon.

Hey Shilpa,
I simply love this recipe. My mom use to make this always.
We generally use this as side dish for Mumbri(rice rotti made on banana leaves)
Thanks for posting it.

Reena, let me know if you like this .
LG, yes you can broil it, the taste will be much better if it is broiled. Its the same thing I was refering to in the post (the traditional way of smoking the eggplant, but I never got correct word for it ).
