There are always some dishes that sound so simple and commonplace, yet you never make it yourself. Gosthu is one such dish for me. I actually came to know about this only after my blogging days and especially the fact that this is served with Ven Pongal was a new thing for me. So after having known this for so many years, I always wonder why I never made it myself.
Recently Amma was telling me that she has started making this for Pongal after reading her diary. That dairy has been with us for so many years, with recipes that sound so delicious, especially when you imagine we wrote down during my college days. So Amma has been telling me how she has been making this and asked me to make it sometime.
I had taken this for my lunch and had a request to bring more the next week. So I had made for nearly five to six of my friends and carried a huge box full of Pongal.
I make Ven Pongal two ways, both are equally liked.
Ven Pongal 1
Ven Pongal 2

Delicious brinjal kotsu,perfect with Venpongal.We make it slightly different with freshly ground spices but this method seems to be easy.
Vinitha says
Brinjal has never been a common veggie at home. I am not the biggest fan. I should try this with pongal sometime.
