3. Remove the stalk and add them into the blender, add garlic cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, coriander leaves, mint leaves (optional), and grind to a coarse paste.

4. Cut the eggplant into big pieces and put the pieces in the blender and just press the pulse for 1 or 2 times to give a coarse texture.

5. Shift the eggplant paste into a bowl, add chopped onions, salt, little sugar and mix all ingredients well.

6. Take some tamarind pulp, add lots of water and mix this juice to the eggplant mixture and mix well.

7. For tempering the rasam, heat 1 tbsp oil (til seed oil or peanut oil) and when it gets hot, add 1?2 tsp mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds splutter, add 2-3 red chillies and fry. Add pinch of turmeric powder and 2-3 sprigs curry leaves. When the curry leaves sizzles, switch off the flame and pour it into the Eggplant rasam.
