vankaya pachadi(eggplant chutney-brinjal chutney)

I am die-hard fan of chutneys and pickles. I just love spicy food. Brinjal chutney was always famous at my mother’s place. Here is the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:-
Vankaya / Brinjals/ Eggplants: - 2 large
Kothimeera/Cilantro/Coriander: - 1 large bunch/2 small bunches
Green Chilies: - 4-5 (Can be adjusted according to taste)
Refined oil: - 1 tablespoon
Salt: - as required
Turmeric: a pinch
Garlic pods: - 2-3
Onions: - for garnishing
Tamarind: - lemon sized ball (Soaked for 5 minutes)
METHOD:-
  1. Poke holes in brinjals and apply oil on the outer skin.
  2. Roast brinjals on low flame till the flesh inside brinjals becomes pulpy 
  3. Alternatively you can microwave them for 3-4 minutes
  4. Cool the brinjals or you can put them in cold water. Peel the skin off and mash the brinjals like barta
  5. Now in tadka pan take garlic pods and green chilies and fry them just for minute to remove raw smell
  6. Whip garlic-chillies into very tiny pieces (do not completely grind them)
  7. Squeeze pulp out of tamarind and add it to the mashed brinjal pulp
  8. Add garlic-chilly mixture and mix well.
  9. Garnish it with chopped coriander and onions
