Baby eggplants can be found in the Indian grocery stores. Known as Indian eggplants, they are small with a dark reddish-purple color. Moreover, always look for younger, smaller eggplant that feels firm and is not mushy.

Firstly, dry roast the spices in a pan on low-medium heat. Add in desiccated dried coconut, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, whole red chili peppers, and raw peanuts. Let them dry roast for about 3 to 4 minutes until they become fragrant and the peanuts change color.

Next remove the roasted ingredients from the pot and let them cool. Finely grind them in a grinder to a fine powder.

 

Further add in ground turmeric, salt, and tamarind paste and mix well with a spoon. Set aside.
