For the third day it is a dish which features
brinjal. Brinjal is used mostly as a vegetable though technically it is a
fruit.Generally I cook rasavangi, curry, gothsu will brinjal and thogayal
(chutney) is an addition to this. This can be mixed with hot rice and eaten
with kootu as an accompaniment.
