  • 1 cup Water adjust for desired consistency
  • 2 tbsp Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a kadai and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  2. Add chopped onions and sauté until light golden.
  3. Mix in ginger garlic paste and cook for one minute.
  4. Add tomatoes and cook until they soften.
  5. Add turmeric, red chilli and coriander powder. Mix well.
  6. Add brinjal cubes and sauté for two minutes so they absorb the masala.

  8. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with roti or rice.

Notes

Use tender brinjals for best taste. Reduce oil further for a lighter curry.
