Simple Tips from Nestlé

Good to Know - Green gram is rich in fibre.

Good to remember - Fibre helps reduce bad cholesterol in the body.

     

Method

Wash the Thalana Batu (eggplant) well, then squeeze it like you would a lime, softening each Thalana Batu between the palms of your hand.

Once softened make two small incisions with a sharp knife on the bottom of each Thalana Batu in the shape of a cross. Use this incision to remove all the seeds and wash each one well.

Next, add oil as desired into a pan and temper all the remaining ingredients. Then add the boiled and mashed green gram to the pan. Finally, add the Maggi Coconut Milk and the pack of Maggi Rasa Musu to the pan. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.

Once the mixture has cooled, stuff the Thalana Batu (eggplant) with the prepared green gram mixture.

In a separate pan, prepare a traditional kiri hodi (coconut milk gravy) by adding the kiri hodi ingredients to the boiling Maggi Coconut milk and stir for 15 minutes. Place the stuffed eggplant (thalana batu) in the kiri hodi and simmer on a low flame until cooked.
