Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams eggplants (baigan)
- 2 tablespoons mustard oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the eggplants thoroughly and chop them into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Heat mustard oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the green chilies and ginger-garlic paste, sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell of the garlic disappears.
Add the chopped eggplant pieces to the pan and mix well.
Sprinkle in turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything gently to coat the eggplants with the spices.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggplants cook on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through.
Once the eggplants are cooked, remove the lid and let the excess moisture evaporate, stirring for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat, and garnish the dish with chopped coriander leaves and a splash of fresh lemon juice.
Serve the sugar-free baigan ki subji hot with your choice of roti or rice.
