Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Eggplant (Baigan)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 small, slit Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and sauté until they begin to crackle.
Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and slit green chili, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the eggplant cubes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well so that the spices coat the eggplant evenly.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender and fully cooked.
Once the eggplant is cooked, remove the lid and let the remaining moisture evaporate if there's any excess liquid. Stir gently to avoid mashing the eggplant.
Garnish the Keto Baigan ki Subji with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot as a standalone low-carb dish or with a keto-friendly side such as cauliflower rice.
