Stuffed baby eggplant curry

This curry goes well with chapati,rice and paratas as well !
Eggplants are my all time favourite ! The normal authentic stuffing takes little extra time and patience,but this dish is easy and can be prepared in less time...

Baby eggplants - 5 to 6(wash,slit them without seperating and keep them in water)
Onions - 1/2 cup

Sesame seeds - 1tbsp
Tamarind - 1tbsp
Jaggery - 1 tsp

Step 2 - Take the cut eggplants and fill the stuffing inside and keep them in a plate.Now heat the oil in a pressure cooker add mustard seeds,a pinch of hing,turmeric powder and curry leaves.When they splutter place the stuffed eggplants in it.Now pour the extra masala left and half cup of water.Close the lid and let it whistle 2 times.When it cools down open the pressure cooker and mix it gently.
