Instructions
Wash the eggplants and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chilies.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 1 minute to blend the spices.
Add the cubed eggplants to the mixture and stir well to ensure they are coated with the spices.
Pour in the water and mix well. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the eggplants are tender, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with rice or roti for a delicious and wholesome meal.
