  1. Slit brinjals into four, without cutting them through and keeping the stalk intact. Soak in water. For the stuffing, grind ginger and garlic to a smooth paste. Soak tamarind in warm water for about half an hour, squeeze and strain the pulp. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, add onions and stir-fry until translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste, stir-fry until devoid of raw flavours.
  2. Add green chillies and stir. Add tamarind pulp, salt, coriander powder, cumin powder and turmeric powder. Stir-fry till oil separates. Sprinkle garam masala and remove. Set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 225º C. Grind the masala in a blender to a fine paste.
  3. Stuff the masala in between the slits of the brinjals and set aside. Brush a baking tray with one teaspoon of oil, arrange the brinjals and bake them for fifteen minutes at 225 º C. Alternatively shallow fry, covered, in a frying pan. Once cooked remove them onto a serving platter.
