Gosthu

Got a chance to taste this dish after my marraige.But I got attracted to it at the first time itself. Its really great to cook with eggplant. I have tasted eggplant gotsu recipe several times but gosthu is something different from it.A nice aroma of dhania (Coriander seeds) and red chillies along with tangy taste makes this dish more lip smacking.It goes well with idlys and dosas.Once you try it,you will get addict to it.
