Brinjal Gothsu is a best sidedish for Idli/ Dosa which we make weekly once at least. It goes well with ven Pongal too. This is very simple to make but yet very tasty. It’s different from Chidambaram Gothsu.I have learnt this recipe from Amma and hence its from Tirunelveli. We call this dish as kathirikai khichadi. Let’s go to the recipe.
