Ingredients List
- 4 lg Eggplants, peeled & cubed
- 2 ts Salt
- 2 lg Onions, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 4 tb Oil
- 1 ts Cumin seeds, crushed
- 1 ts Coriander
- 3 Cardamom pods
- 2 ts Ginger, grated
- 1/2 ts Turmeric
- 1 ts Salt
- 2 Chili peppers, crushed
- 3 lg Potatoes, chopped
- 1 Tomato, peeled & chopped
- 1 ts Tomato paste
Directions
Sprinkle eggplant pieces with salt & set aside for 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute onions & garlic in the oil until
golden, stirring & ensuring that it's not scorching. Add all the spices &
peppers & stir-fry a couple of minutes. Squeeze eggplant pieces to get rid
of excess moisture. Dump the pieces into the pot. Stir until they become
limp & slightly golden. Add more oil if necessary Add the potatoes & let
them brown on all sides. When potatoes are somewhat tender, but still fork
resistant, add tomatoes, paste & 1 1/2 c water. Stir, bring to a boil,
reduce heat & simmer until vegetables are tender but not mushy. The sauce
should be thick, like syrup. If too thin, simmer a little longer. Serve
over rice.
