Brinjal Gothsu Recipe is one of South India’s famous breakfast side dish. If you are looking to substitute chutney recipe with breakfast recipes like idli or dosa then this is the perfect one.

It is a perfect recipe for bachelors and working women as this can be cooked somewhere around 15 minutes. Kathirikai Gothsu can also be used with steamed rice or chapatti.

 In some places, I have seen this recipe being eaten with Pongal, for that we need to prepare thick gravy type. I have seen people using masala powder specially designed for this recipe.

Whatever it is I didn’t want to mess you and make this recipe complicated. So I kept it simple and tasty. For your reference, I have added how to make masala powder at the end of the recipe.
