Grill

Gothsu is a south Indian dish made with grilled eggplants. Its one of those really easy to make quick fixes that grandma whipped up for a weekend brunch of warm rice & lentil porridge known as Pongal. The traditional version involves grilling an Italian eggplant, discarding the charred skin & combining the soft pulp in seasoned tamarind extract. My 'dip' version involves combining the tamarind pulp & eggplant with a touch of sesame oil to yield a smooth silky finish which complements the piquant smoky flavor of the gothsu. The dip works great with pita bread or toasted naan.
