Ingredients
- 1/2 onion medium, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon chili pickle more or less by taste for spice and pickleyness, Marwari
- 5-6 eggplant baby Indian
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- In a medium pan heat oil at medium low.
- Add in the onions, fennel, coriander and cumin seeds and cook on medium low till the onions turn golden.
- Cool the onion mixture a bit and blend with the chili pickle and little water if needed into a nice paste.
- Make 2 cross slits in the eggplants with the stalk attached.
- Fill the paste in the slits as much as possible and put the eggplants to cook on the same pan with a little oil.
- Cover the eggplants with the leftover paste and cook for 10 minutes on low heat covered.
- Turn the eggplants and add in some water in the pan around the eggplants(not over the eggplants), to keep the masala paste from burning. (my mom in law adds oil
- which does work better for gooey veggies like okra and bittergourd)
- Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning the eggplants every 10 minutes. We cook the 40-45 minutes until things start to just about char. The masala and eggplants are usually well done around 30 minutes. For a quicker version, cut the eggpants into big chunks and cook with masala and you will be done in 20.
- Serve hot with rotis, puris or Naan!
