Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 large, chopped Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the eggplants. Cut them into medium-sized cubes and soak them in salted water to prevent browning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Drain the eggplant cubes and add them to the skillet. Stir well to coat the eggplant with the oil and spices.
Add chopped tomato, turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and salt to the eggplant. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggplant cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The eggplant should become tender and the flavors should meld together.
Once the eggplant is cooked and soft, add garam masala and mix well.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the Low Carb Eggplant Subji hot with your choice of low-carb side like cauliflower rice or on its own.
