Saw your blogger profile today - your kiddo is incredibly cute - is it a boy or a girl? (most mistake my niece for a cute boy ;) )
I used to traverse the world of development sometime back - my masters is in social work - so what's your line of work?
Everybody in my family does this. Infact it's our family favorite. Your version is a little different. Kosthu looks yummy. will try it this way soon.
I too make this after my ma in law...she calls it Kathrikkai kadasal..This goes well with hot rice too!!:)...by the way is it Kothsu or kosthu??(sorry I am always with doubts as tamil cuisine is what I make mostly and still in learning stages!!):D

Tha is a super delicious looking dish. I always though brinjal was a boring veggie, but i am sure if i taste your dish i would be a fan of brinjal :-))
Looks delicious..I too will do this but instead of boiling brinjal i will fry and i will use black pepper instead of red chilli..Will try this way.
gud bringal dish...amma makes this usually as a side dish for rice,goes well wid idlli also...we call this as 'karthikai bhaji/kadasal'...wat ever be the same....dish is very tasty...my hubby doesnt like this...so i have no chance to make this....
It looks great on the idlies. Please send that plate across.
Brinjal kosthu looks great...
That looks delicious. This may a good way for me to eat brinjals.( I am not an eggplant lover:-(
Happy cook

Hi,
Idli and Gojju inviting me.Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanx Menu today..:))
Hi, we make similar pasty brinjal curry and call it 'baingan ka bharta', not exactly same but a bit similar and have it with rice or chaparis/parathas. I will someday make this and try it with doasa and idlis for the first time in my life, thanks for the recipe !

dressing as well as norms of appearence in urban parts these days is increasingly becoming unisex - it very difficult to figure if cute toddlers are boys or girls :D
isn't there I'am a stay at home mom option? i think that would be rather cute - although there must be exasperating moments I'm sure its a fun job to take care of your boy :).
Thanx Mona for the comments...:))
Lakshmi,
Yes I agree with your Words:)
I too was searching for home maker option but in vain..
But,as u said ,I love to be a house wife..;D
With idlis!!! nothing can beat this combo. Lovely Rak. Viji
Thankyou Viji!!:))
