Ingredients List
- 1 md Eggplant, cut into 1" cubes
- 2 c Fresh or frozen green peas
- 4 tb Ghee
- 1 tb Coarsely crushed coriander
- 1/2 tb Coarsely crushed cumin seeds
- 1 ts Turmeric
- 1 ts Salt
- 3 Whole hot chilies
- 1/8 ts Asafetida
- 3 Sprigs fresh coriander
- 2 c Stock
Directions
Place eggplant into the bottom of a heavy pot. Sprinkle in the fresh peas,
dot with ghee & add the remaining ingredients. Bring the liquid to a boil &
cook for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover & cook for
about 30 minutes, shaking the pot from time to time to prevent sticking. If
the stock is evaporating too quickly, add some more & reduce the heat. When
almost all the stock has evaporated, add the frozen peas (if you are using
them instead of fresh) reduce the heat further & fry until a crust has
begun to form on the bottom of the pot & the eggplant has begun to char.
Remove from the heat & let sit for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently stir in the crust
& serve immediately.
