Brinjal Chutney

I learnt this recipe from my co-sister, she made it for me one fine evening with soft idli's. I loved it so much and learned what ingredients she used to make this chutney. I am just sharing this post for chutney lovers and especially for mom's who loves to make variety of chutney. This chutney goes well with dosa, idli and oothapam.
