Brinjal Poriyal(Fry)

 I know most of them like to use violet colour brinjal and my family really loves the green brinjal.This green is little crunchy and I like that fact.Violet are  very soft but both taste so good.Here I have made violet and green brinjal fry.I seem to have added more coconut paste, so do less them.I was in a mood to eat lots of coconut so I just added them without thinking,but do reduce the consistency.You will defenetely like the combination of grinding them in a blender instead of adding the powder.Do try it out and let me know how you liked it.
