Matti Gulla is one of my favourite  Mangalorean Vegetable.. Its distinct flavour and taste has won the heart of amchis.  Gulla Phodi is in demand during the months of Feb until June. Weddings, parties, hotels or even street vendors ensure this is served to the liking of many.
This recipe is very simple and if Matti gul is not available one can use any normal brinjal and enjoy this recipe.
