Now heat the kadai..add two tspns of oil to it…when the oil is heat.. Add Mustard seeds,cumin seeds, chana dal to it..when the cumin seeds pops add left over onion stuff ..let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes..now place the brinjals in the kadai neatly …let the brinjals cook..make sure that the brinjals are cooked well…jus turn them  after a while so that the brinjal cooks evenly..add little water to that after 5 mints of cooking.. half a cup of water is enough..let them cook..taste the gravy to see the correctness of spices

when the curry is almost done..add a cup of milk to it…n let it cook  until milk gets vaporized n gravy becomes thick..after pouring milk it jus takes 5 mints ..that's it..

Flame should be reduced after pouring milk….once the milk get touch with the spices..it breaks it structure…so add a pinch of cooking soda to the milk..stir it well then pour into the curry..so that the milk will not break into pieces…

                                                                          

If you have Oven u can actually save the cooking time by placing the stuffed brinjals in the oven for 4 mints…then as in the normal way place the brinjals in the thadaka after the onions are fried.. and let it cook in the gravy as i said above.
