There's something so comforting about a hot, hearty curry on a cool evening. The feeling is even better when it involves favourite veggies, in our case, Eggplant!
Eggplant/Brinjal/Aubergine whatever you may call it, is one those vegetables that is either absolutely loved by those that are fans. As I belong to the group of Eggplant lovers, I often experiment with different combinations and this curry I tried, with it's smooth, silky texture, became an instant hit at our house!
Here it is, my Eggplant Coconut Curry:
Ingredients: 1 large eggplant chopped into semi circles (not too thin), 1 can light coconut milk, 1 onion chopped, 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic, chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon garam masala, curry leaves, corainder for garnish.
Make: In a thick wide based pan, add a spoon of oil and heat chilliflakes and cumin seeds. Add turmeric powder, chopped onion and garlic to saute. Then add the chopped eggplant semi circles, curry leaves and garam masala. Roast nicely on both sides, this may take around 10 minutes. Lastly add the can of coconut milk, salt to taste and bring to boil. Garnish with coriander and serve steaming hot with rice or roti. Enjoy!
Hi, chilli flakes means the flakes we use for pizza toppings or red chilis?
