Ingredients
- 1 kg small baingan ((eggplants or brinjals))
- 5 to 6 potatoes (- medium sized)
- 2 teaspoon red chilli powder (or paprika or cayenne pepper)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoon dried mango powder ((amchur powder))
- 2 teaspoon garam masala
- 3 tablespoon mustard oil (or vegetable oil)
- salt (or pink salt)
Instructions
Preparation
Wash the small brinjals and potatoes in fresh water a couple of times.- Slice the brinjals into 4 pieces vertically. If the brinjal is of medium-size then first cut into half horizontally and then cut each half into 3 to 4 slices.
- Keep the brinjals in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes to remove their bitterness.
- Also slice the potatoes into thin to medium-thin wedges or slices.
Making aloo baingan ki sabji
In a pan heat the mustard oil. Add the potatoes and brinjals to the oil.- Saute in the oil for 4 to 5 minutes on a medium heat.
- Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt as required.
- Mix the spice powders and salt evenly with both the veggies.
- Now cover the pan with a lid and let the veggies cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Keep checking the aloo baingan after a few minutes so that the veggies do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Do stir occasionally.
- When the aloo and baingan are cooked until fork tender and softened, then sprinkle garam masala powder and dry mango powder.
- Mix these thoroughly and cook for a minute without lid
- Close the heat and serve the aloo baingan sabji hot with phulka or paratha or whole wheat bread. It makes for an excellent side dish with dal rice or khichdi.
