Note : The amount of sauces I mentioned here is for children ..If u want this to be more spicy u can add more chilly and reduce the amount of tomato sauce ..Its upto ur taste ..And if u want the brinjal to me more crispy ,u can fry them again in the same oil just b4 adding to the sauces .Don’t burn them 😉 ..Be careful to drain them with in few seconds …
