This Brinjal Gothsu goes well with Rice Upma and Ven Pongal. It can also be served with Idli/Dosai.
Some people make this Gothsu without adding dhal. In such case, if you find the Gothsu is watery, then you can mix one or two teaspoons of rice flour in little water and add to the Gothsu while boiling.
Ven Pongal
Difficulty: EasyThis ven pongal is made with raw rice and dhal. It is usually served with Brinjal Gothsu or with Coconut Chutney/sambar.
Rice Upma

Ingredients
Brinjal – 4 Nos
Big Onion – 1 No
Tomato – 1 No
Tamarind – A big gooseberry size
Green Gram Dhal – 1/4 cup
Sambar Powder – 3 teaspoons
Turmeric Powder – a pinch
Asafoetida – a pinch
Salt – 1 teaspoon or as per taste
Oil – 2 to 3 teaspoon
Mustard – ½ teaspoon
Curry leaves – few
Directions
- Cook green gram dhal along with a pinch of turmeric powder and keep aside.
- Cut the brinjal into fine pieces. Chop the onion and tomatoes finely.
- Soak tamarind in water, extract the juice and make ½ cup tamarind water.
- In a pan add the oil. When it is hot add mustard. When it pops up add asafoetida powder, chopped onion, curry leaves and fry till the onion turns transparent.
- Then add tomato pieces along with a pinch of salt and fry till it mashed well.
- Add brinjal pieces and stir well.
- Now add tamarind water, sambar powder, turmeric powder and salt. If needed add little water to cover the brinjal pieces fully.
- Cook on medium flame till the vegetable is soft.
- Then add the cooked dhal mashed well.
- Stir well and allow to boil for few minutes.
Notes
- We can also use mixed vegetables (brinjal, carrot, potato, chow chow, peas, etc.) and make this gothsu.
- Some people make this gothsu without adding dhal. In such case, if you find the gosthu is watery, then you can mix one or two teaspoons of rice flour in little water and add to the gosthu while boiling.

Hello Kamala madam, i just wanted to know if both Gosthu and gojju are same or are they different dishes?
Hi Priya,
Gosthu or Kosthu is prepared with more dhal and vegetable. Gojju is tamarind based gravy and it is a kannada special.
Thank you for the info madam.
