BAINGAN ALOO SABZI

Baingan Aloo

 

Well, my husband is a good cook.  He never goes by books always follow his instincts.  He has come up with lots of tasty dishes just by accident while experimenting.  I won’t say this particular dish is new but he made this with eyes and nose (if I may say so)… I mean just looking at the colour he added ingredients … though basic.  And I must admit it turned out good.

INGREDIENTS
Barta Brinjal 1
Potato (Medium) 1
Onion (Medium) 1
Tomato (Medium) 1
Oil 2 tbps
Jeera 1/2 tsp
Hing A generous pinch
Green Chillies (Chopped) 1
Kasoori Methi 1 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder 1/2 tsp
Coriander Powder 1 1/2 tsp
Salt To taste
Fresh Coriander Leaves For garnishing

 

METHOD

  • Cut onion into 4 and take out each layer separately.
  • Cut brinjal into two in lengthwise and again cut it into two (lengthwise) and then cut it into thin slices of about 1/2 cm so you will be getting triangle shape pieces.  Keep it in water until use.
  • Cut potato vertically into 2 and make slices of 1/2 cm each.  And cut tomato into 8 pieces.
  • Heat oil in a kadai, crackle jeera and hing.  Add in green chillies and season the oil for about 30 second.
  • Fry onion till it turns golden brown.  Add tomato and stir fry for a minute.
  • Add all the dry masalas, salt and kasoori methi.  Mix well.
  • Add potato dices and cook for about 5 – 7 minutes and then add brinjal.  Mix well, close with lid and let it simmer till cooked.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rotis.
