Spices Stuffed Eggplant Curry

Spices Stuffed Eggplant Curry
A delicious hot and spicy tangy Curry made with fresh eggplants/brinjal which is one of most favorite recipe. This recipe made in tamil style, with few easy to adopt steps because I always try to fit the recipe in my style and to my liking is so simple just very addicting.

Softly cooked brinjal thats has been filled with roasted spices, twice cooked once in feying pan and once again in a onion tomato based curry, with a nice tangy tamarind extract added as the final flourish is soemthing you need to try with rice at least once.
