About Eggplant Tangy Pickle (Kathirikkai/Brinjal Puli Thokku)

Recently in a marriage this tangy pickle was served and I was totally carried away by its taste. To my surprise I couldn't found , out of which vegetable this was made. I asked the server and he told it was made out of eggplant. Amazing side dish for curd rice, idli, Dosa and Roti. I got the recipe from the chef and made it very next day itself...
