| | | | This is a North Indian style curry where the grilled Aubergines are cooked with Spices and Herbs. Typically glossy smooth surface Aubergines have less seeds and this is a perfect of its kind. The spicy version tastes yummy with Roti and some sliced Salad. We sometimes use this as a spread as well. So depending on your likings enjoy this spicy curry! | Serves: | 4 | Preparation Time: | 10-minutes. | Cooking Time: | 30-minutes | Ingredients: | Aubergine - 1 | | | Onion finely chopped - 1 | | | Tomato chopped - 1 | | | Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tsp | | | Green Peas - ¼ cup | | | Oil - 2 tbsp | | | Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp | | | Cumin seeds - 1 tsp | | | Turmeric - ¼ tsp | | | Pinch of Asafoetida | | | Garam Masala - 1 tsp | | | Red chilli powder - 1 tsp | | | Salt (to taste) | | Method: | • Grease Aubergine with a small quantity of Oil and gently fry it, turning occasionally, till it is soft.
