Fiil this powder inside the brinjals tightly without breaking them.

Soak the tamarind in water for 15 minutes or add hot water and after 5 minutes take the juice of it.  Keep aside.

Heat a pan and add oil. Add mustard seeds. Let them splutter. Now add asafoetida and curry leaves. Saute and add chopped onions. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilly powder and salt only for the gravy. We have added salt to the ground masala also. Fry for few seconds and add stuffed brinjals. Mix with onions and fry .Add tamarind juice  and the balance masala powder.  Cover and cook till  the brinjals are soft.If your gravy is very thick add little water and adjust the consistency.  Cook for few more minutes  and switch off the stove.

Tips.

You can add few garlic with chopped onions.

Instead of adding coconut with roasted spices grind  the coconut with little water and make a smooth paste.  Add this at the end and cook.
