Eggplants or brinjals are not liked by all but those who eat knows the deliciousness of this vegetable. This dish is often prepared in maharashtrian homes. I love the brinjals dishes :)
Ingredients-
1) 6-8 small brinjals/eggplants- I prefer the one which are dark purple in color and not the ones with green and purple stripes. 1 small potato (optional)
2) 1 medium onion
3) 1 medium tomato
4) 5-6 cloves of garlic
5) 1/2 inch piece of ginger
6) 1 green chilly
7) 2 tsp dessicated coconut
8) 1 tbsp khuskhus soaked in warm water for 20 minutes
9) 3 tsp groundnut powder
10) Salt- 1/2 tsp
11) Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
12) Cumin powder- 1 tsp
13) Coriander powder- 1 tsp
14) Jaggery- 1 small piece of sugar -1 tsp
15) Garam Masala -1/4 tsp (optional)
16) Oil- 4 to 5 tbsp
17) Finely chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
Recipe-
1) Wash Brinjals and keep it aside.
2) Chop onion, potato, ginger into medium pieces and put into the blender/mixer pot. Also add groundnut powder, khuskhus, coconut, green chilly and make a thick paste out of it.
3) Now put 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add this paste. Keep stirring so it doesn't get burnt. Add spices mentioned in steps 10-13 above. Mix well and stir so that the raw smell goes away and oil starts leaving from the side. Put this masala in a plate and let it cool down.
4) If you are using potatoes, its a good idea to cook it beforehand. Add 1 -2 tbsp oil in a kadhai and fry the potato pieces. Set aside.
5) Make 2 vertical slits on every brinjal as below and stuff the fried masala once its cooled down.
6) Once all the brinjals are stuffed, we need to fry those. Add 2-3 tbsp oil and then add the brinjals one by one. Cover it with a lid.
7) After 2 minutes, turn them to other side, also add fried potatoes and cover again for 2 minutes.
8) Now add jaggery/sugar, garam masala, few coriander leaves and sprinkle little bit salt. Also add 1/2 cup water and cover for a minute.
Transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with remaining coriander leaves.
Serve hot with rotis or rice :)
