Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplants
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the eggplants and potatoes thoroughly. Cut the eggplants into 1-inch cubes and the potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
Finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they become soft and mushy, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes until the spices are well incorporated.
Add the cubed potatoes and eggplants, and mix everything well with the spice mixture.
Pour in the cup of water and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and eggplants are tender.
Stir in the coconut milk and garam masala. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the curry hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
