CHETTINAD BRINJAL KOSUMALLI | SIDE DISH FOR IDIYAPPAM , IDLI

I tried this brinjal kosumalli recipe from kumudham supplementary book. It is a good side dish for idiyappam , idli & dosa. It is one of the traditional Chettinad recipes. We relished with idli rava idlis. It was very tasty. My husband is not fond of brinjal recipes but he loved this kosamalli a lot.    .
