    The simplest way to do this recipe is to mix all the ingredients except oil and allow this to marinate for 20 mins and shallow-fry this in hot oil for 5-7 mins,stirring at-times.Otherwise,Heat oil in a kadai and saute the brinjal pieces for 4-5 mins and then add all the other masala,one-by-one and mix well.Saute this till done or till they turn golden brown in colour.
