    Do the first step for 3 mins after heating the oil in a kadai.Then add the brinjal pieces and other ingredients except the mashed dhal(adding 1 cup water) and allow it to cook till the brinjal becomes tender,stirring at-times for abt 10 mins.Finally add the mashed dhal and mix well for 2 mins and turn off the flame.Serve this hot with rice,indian breads etc,.
