Stuffed Brinjal fry recipe

I was a bit reluctant to make this dish when i first went through its recipe.. Seriously, a filling of jaggery, coconut and tamarind?? It didnt make much sense. But this reluctance aroused a curiosity to try it out. And trust me, this is one super tasty dish. The tamarind pulp and jaggery blends together with the coconut to give it a perfect taste which truly pampers our taste buds.  And the addition of juicy baingan with it adds to its taste.Try it out.
