Not many people like this unique vegetable but then they might not have tasted this recipe...
My mother-in-law's super simple recipe of masala dry baingan is super simple and YUM.
Ingredients :
- Baingan - 4 small
- Coriander powder : 2 tablespoons
- Cummin powder : 2 tablespoons
- Turmeric powder : 1 pinch
- Cummin seeds whole : 1 teaspoon
- Saunf (funnel) powder - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - to taste
- Red chilli powder : 1 teaspoon
- Amchur powder : 1 teaspoon
- Garam Masala : 2 tea spoons
- Vegetable Oil : 3-4 tablespoon
- Hing ( astafotedia powder) - 1 pinch
- Ground roasted peanuts - 1/4 cup
To Do:
Wash the Eggplants and dry them, slit them in 4 pieces (not all the way through as shown in picture). Start cutting from the smooth end and stop at least 1 inch before the stem, so that the pieces do not fall out.
Heat oil in a skillet and add the cummin sees to crackle. Add the dry ingredents except Peanut powder, and mix it so that it becomes a paste like consistency. Saute till golden brown.
Cool down the masala a bit and fill the slits of Baingan with the masala just prepared above.
Add all the baingans in the skillet and saute for 5 min, then sprinkle some water on them.
Cover this with a lid and reduce the flame to low and let it cook for 8-10 min. After every 2 minutes keep rolling them so that it is evenly cooked.
They should have shrunk a bit as shown in the picture, now take it out in a serving dish. Add the coarse peanut powder as a garnish and savour this delicacy with pulao / Rice or Poori .
