procedure:

coat the egg plant with oil and place it on the gas stove electric stove does not work

and cook it till it starts to wither and slowly becomes smaller in size trust me it makes the stove a mess after its done and water also comes out of it.

thats when its done

allow to cool and peel off the charged black coat.

and remove with a spoon the inside cooked part in take in a bowl and mash coarsly with a spoon and add salt and let stand

now for seasoning add green mirchi as per taste 1 small sized onion and mustard seeds and jeera and haldi and curry leaves and at the end tamarind paste made out of golf size ball.

optional but very tasty is adding gumadikaya vadiyallu which are fried in oil slightly to the whole dish and letting them soak up the water that comes from the tamarind and egg plant combination.
