Amritsari masala baigan-Spicy and delicious brinjals a speciality of Amritsar-Punjab(India)

Amritsari masala baigan is a very nice tangy Delicious recipe made with baby brinjals. I have made it in the pressure cooker but you can also make it in a kadhai or pan. First the tomato and the spice mix is added in the tadka and stir fried. Then the brinjals are added in the prepared masala nd sauted for few minutes.

Now add some water and pressure cook for a minute on high heat. Open the cooker when pressure cool down add tamarind pulp and give a boil, Serve your delicious masala baigan with rice, biryani or roti parathas.

    I tried it as yesterday's dinner. It was simple and tasty. I guess tamarind pulp quantity should be reduced or eliminated as at the end..the tangy flavour of tamarind was overpowering the entire spices added. Can u comment on this mam?
