Ingredients
- 4-5 eggplant small Indian, chopped
- 2 potato medium, cubed
- 2 Teaspoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 cumin powder
- pinch asafoetida hing
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder haldi
- 5 curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon ginger chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic 3 cloves, chopped
- 1 Serrano chili pepper chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 tomato optional, chopped
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat oil on medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add in the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
- Add in the curry leaves and hing and give it a mix
- Add in the coriander seeds, cumin powder, ginger, garlic and chili and cook for 2 minutes
- Add in the potatoes and turmeric and mix well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes
- Add in the eggplants, tomato and salt and mix well to coat with all the spices.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. I like my eggplants well cooked so i cook the dish for a few minutes longer. My mom likes hers just about done and not very mashed, so she cooks on low heat and doesnt stir it much.
- Serve hot garnished with freshly chopped cilantro leaves, with Rotis or Naan and a side dish of Daal(lentil curry)
