Eggplant Curry
Ingredients
4 large eggplants, peeled and cubed
2 tsp. salt
2 large onions, chopped
2 each garlic cloves, crushed
4 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. cumin seeds, crushed
1 tsp. coriander
3 each cardamom pods
2 tsp. ginger, grated
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. salt
2 each chili peppers, crushed
3 large potatoes, chopped
1 each tomato, peeled and chopped
1 tsp. tomato paste
Cooking Instructions
Sprinkle eggplant pieces with salt and set aside for 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile in a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic in the oil until golden, stirring and ensuring that it’s not scorching. Add all the spices and peppers and stir fry a couple of minutes. Squeeze eggplant pieces to get rid of excess moisture. Dump the pieces into the pot. Stir until they become limp and slightly golden. Add more oil if necessary add the potatoes and let them brown on all sides. When potatoes are somewhat tender, but still fork resistant, add tomatoes, paste and 1 1/2 C.(s) water. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender but not mushy. The sauce should be thick, like syrup. If too thin, simmer a little longer. Serve over rice.
