Instructions
- For the paste
- Combine the sesame seeds, cauliflower, roasted chana dal, ginger, garlic and onions in a pan, and dry roast them over a slow flame till the flavours are released and the ingredients are lightly browned.
- Add the turmeric powder, coriander-cumin seed powder, chilli powder and tamarind and grind it to a smooth paste using ½ cup of water. Keep aside.

- When they crackle, add the brinjals, curry leaves and green chillies, and sauté over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
