2. Clean, wash and finely chop coriander leaves. Reserve one tablespoon each of the scraped coconut and chopped coriander leaves for garnish. Grind together onion, green chillies, ginger, garlic, coriander leaves, scraped coconut and green peas to a fine paste.
3. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a pan sauté the ground paste for five minutes, add coriander powder, black masala, turmeric powder, salt and sauté for a couple of minutes.
4. Remove from heat, cool and stuff half the masala in the brinjals and keep aside. Heat remaining oil in the same pan add cumin seeds. Once they change colour add remaining sautéed masala and stuffed brinjals.
