This is a dish using Smoked eggplant mashed and cooked with masala, onion and tomatoes.
This is a good side dish with
Rotis. I got this recipe from a TV show
with a slight variation from my side by adding sweet corn. I just love the smoky flavour of bhaigan.
Eggplant (bhaigan) 1 large size
Onion chopped
1
Ginger chopped 1 tsp
Garlic chopped 2 tsp
Red chilli powder 2 tsp
Turmeric powder
¼ tsp
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Jeera powder
½
tsp
Green chilly chopped 1 or 2
Jeera
½ tsp
Boiled sweet corn ¼ cup (optional)
Tomatoes chopped 2
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves chopped 1 tbsp
Oil 2 or 3 tsp
Method
·
Apply
little oil on eggplant.
·
Keep this on gas in low flame for roasting, in between turn it so all sides roast evenly.
·
After eggplant’s skin turn black switch off the gas and keep this in a bowl and cover with a lid. So
we get smoky flavour in eggplants.
After 5 min slowly remove outer
skin of egg plants. (we have applied oil
on eggplants so we can quickly
remove skin out of it)
·
Mash the eggplant and keep aside.
·
Heat oil in kadai put jeera when it splutters add chopped ginger and garlic fry and till light
brown, then add green chilli and chopped
onions fry till transparent.
·
Then add chilli powder, coriander powder, jeera
powder, turmeric and salt and fry for 2
to 3 min on low flame then add chopped
tomatoes fry till it gets mashed then
add boiled sweet corn and mashed eggplant
mix well and cook for 5 min.
·
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
·
Serve hot with rotis.
