Last week we had a potluck party in Walnut park Charlottesville.My friends from US said they all love Eggplant and wanted to try some Indian dish that has eggplant. So I decided to make Eggplant curry and guess what every one loved it.So here is the recipe for it.Try it out and let me know if you enjoyed it.
EGGPLANT CURRY:
Ingredients
1 large eggplant
2 tablespoons Butter
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 medium sized onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (Optional)
1 tablespoon curry powder (Garam Masala)
4 medium sized tomato, diced
1 Bell pepper
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon red chilli powder (or as per your taste – if u like Indian spice level add more)
1 teaspoon salt (or according to your taste)
1/4 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Directions
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Chop the eggplant and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in pre heated oven for 20 - 30 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, cool and peel the skin and keep it aside (last time I did not peel the skin because the skin has lot of nutrients).
• Heat Butter in a pan over medium heat.
• Add cumin seeds wait till the cumin seeds start crackling.
• Add onion and ginger garlic paste stir till it turns golden brown.
• Add chopped tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes starts oozing out water ( Add a little water if the tomatoes are not juicy).
• Add chopped bell pepper stir till it gets cooked.
• Now add the baked eggplant mix well.
• Add garam masala, chilli powder and salt mix well.
• Allow the mixture to get cooked for 2-3 minutes then add yogurt and mix well.
• Leave the eggplant curry in low heat for few minutes.
• Add finely chopped cilantro for garnish mix well and serve hot.
Tip
You can eat the eggplant curry along with – Indian Roti, Indian Naan bread, Tortilla, Bread, Burger buns or Rice.
