- Remove the green cap and the stem attached to it
- Cut the slieces six per Brinjal along the scored places
- Cool the Brinjals and sprinkle a little paprika onto the pulpy inside of each slice - and put them aside till later
- Use a Pressure Cooker for a quick cook-up - or a normal big pot
- Take a pinch of each Masala and lightly "burn" with a tablespoon of oil
- With a wooden spoon keep mixing the 'Masalas' in the dish - till you get a good smell of the mix (don't worry if it all sticks to the bottom of the dish - keep scraping it off gently) This is called the "Bhigar"!

- Wait for it all to cool - remove the whistle slowly - take off the lid
- Add a table-spoonful of Imli (Tamarind) Paste if you like it to have a "sour-ish" flavour
- Add the Brinjals into the mix (add one half cup more of water- if you want to have a "liquidy"curry)! Some prefer a "pastey" consistency
