Brinjal Gotsu is  a traditional and delicious side dish for venn pongal. Pongal with gotsu is one of the popular SouthIndian Breakfast. We can make gotsu with mixed vegetables. But Brinjal gotsu (Kathirikkai Gotsu / Venn Pongal Gotsu) is the traditional gotsu variety. This is the recipe which I learnt from my Grandmother. Venn Pongal with Brinjal Gotsu is one of her signature dish. Most of the weekend, especially Sunday, this is my morning breakfast. A perfect accompaniment for Ven Pongal, Idli, dosa and even for Upma.

In my in-laws place, generally for any South Indian Breakfast like Idli / Dosa / Pongal, we make Arachivita Sambar. But if we have guests, we always make Gotsu. Not only Gotsu tastes much yummier but also we get more quantity and its easy to manage the guests.

Brinjal cooked with freshly ground masala makes a perfect accompaniment to Pongal.

Other varieties of Gotsu that we can make :

1. Onion Gotsu
2. Tiffin Sambar
3. Kathirikkai Poricha Gotsu
4. Chidambara Brinjal Gotsu
5. Hotel Style Tiffin Sambar

Notes

  1. Mostly Gotsu are little watery in consistency but we can make it thick also. So adjust the consistency as per your needs
  2. Always soak the sliced/chopped Brinjal in water till you cook that will prevent de-colorization.
  3. Instead of cooking in pressure cooker method, you can also cook in the table top. But for this method you should cook the dal separately and add it to Gotsu mixture.
