Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 brinjal (large variety) aubergine
- 1 onion large
- 3 tomatoes
- ½ capsicum
- 1 green chilli
- 3 garlic cloves large variety
- Salt as needed
- Oil for shallow frying
- Coriander leaves for garnish
Spice powders
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon Sambar powder or use curry powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon roasted cumin seeds powder bhuna jeera
Instructions
- Chop onion, garlic and green chilli finely, capsicum, tomatoes roughly, brinjal into cubes. Make sure brinjal is not having any water.
- Heat a pan with sufficient oil to shallow fry brinjal. Add cubed brinjal carefully.
- Turn occasionally for even browning. Once golden in colour drain from oil, keep aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the pan and add garlic, green chilli, chopped onion together. Fry till onion turns soft.
- Add chopped capsicum and fry for a minute.
- In goes tomatoes, salt, pepper and other spice powders. Cook until tomatoes turn soft and mushy. Takes roughly 4 minutes.
- Add fried brinjal, mix well. Cook covered for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves (I skipped as I had no stock).
Notes
- Shallow frying gives great flavour to the brinjal. You can also use less oil and try.
- The sabzi doesnt take oil, so use less for frying onion and others. I added more and was too oily I felt.
