Gulla Bajji is a simple Konkani dish. In Konkani, goola means green brinjal. I got this recipe from my mother.
Green brinjals are abundantly available in the place I grew up. Hence my mother used to make this often. I used to help her in making it, as it is a very easy recipe. Try making this simple dish, if you get a chance to lay your hands on Green brinjal.
Ingredients:
Then remove the stalk and cut each into 4 pieces (If the brinjal is big, then cut them into 8-12 pieces).
Then cook the chopped brinjal in a open pot with sufficient water and salt.
As it cooks, the brinjal looses it bright green color. When the brinjals pieces look soft, turn off the heat. This might take around 10- 15 minutes.
Allow the brinjal pieces to get warm. Then transfer the brinjal pieces to a mixing bowl (leaving the water behind. Don't discard it).
Now start smashing it using your hands. Once done add chopped cilantro, chopped green chillis, tamarind pulp, grated coconut and asafoetida.
Mix well. Add little water (in which the brinjals were cooked) to get desired consistency. I made it medium thick. Add more salt, if required. Then finally add the coconut oil and give a final mix. Gulla Bajji is ready!!
Serve it as a side dish to rice. Above measurement serves two people.
Note: You can also add 1-2 Tbsp of chopped onion. This adds a nice crunch to the dish.
