- 1 1/2 tspn coriander seeds

water, a little turmeric, salt and let cook until eggplant is
done but has not lost its shape.
2. In a pan with very little oil roast red chillies, coriander
seeds, chana dal and asafoetida. When you can get the
aroma of roasted coriander or the red chillies have turned
a dark, dark red remove from heat and let cool. Throw
into blender with coconut, add 3 tbsp water and grind
slowly into paste. Add a little water if blade gets stuck.
Remove from jar and wash it out with water and save this.
3. Mash cooked dal with a spoon until blended and add to
cooked eggplant. Now add the coconut paste and its
water. Keep on low heat till it starts to simmer a little.
Take off heat.

Alternately, you can make the cooked dal with half toovar and half
chana dal, in which case you should not cook until mashed. Remove a
trifle before it gets fully done.
