It is always a welcome change for me when I try something from the usual sidedishes and this is what I made last week when Ravi brought his friends over.Sometimes he’ll ask for authentic dishes to be made.I made this in the morning and served this for breakfast with idlis.Brinjal Gothsu is a tasty accompaniment which came as a blessing when i was just running out of ideas.I remembered mom’s famous gothsu. You can pair it with Pongal, Dosa and Arisi Upma too.Tastes divine.I also make a mix Veg Gothsu which I’ll post later, but this brinjal gothsu roasted on stove top gives a unique flavour to the dish.Scroll down for the recipe down.
