This is my version of a spicy dish we had on our last trip to Chicago. It was served with white rice. Recommend Japanese Eggplant. Would also recommend thin skinned white potatoes so that there is no peeling.

Provided by Jacqueline

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 medium (blank)s cucumbers
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups nonfat plain yogurt
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 medium (2-1/4" to 3" dia, raw)s baking potatoes, scrubbed
3 large eggplants, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons garam masala
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
½ cup vegetable broth
2 medium (blank)s jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 cups frozen peas
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

Steps:

  • To make yogurt sauce, peel and seed 2 cucumbers. Finely shred using a food processor, or finely dice by hand. Toss with salt and place in a colander. Allow to drain for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine drained cucumbers, yogurt, scallions, garlic, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
  • While you prepare the cucumbers and sauce, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place potatoes on a baking sheet.
  • Roast potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut eggplants in half lengthwise and place cut-sides down on a medium baking sheet. Add eggplant tray to the oven.
  • Continue to roast eggplants and potatoes until tender and eggplants begin to brown, about 30 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat and allow eggplant and potatoes to cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Peel eggplant (skin should pull off rather easily). Potatoes do not need to be peeled, but may be if you prefer. Chop eggplant and potatoes into large bite-sized cubes.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and salt and cook until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add garam masala, ginger, and garlic and cook until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes with their liquid, vegetable broth, cubed potatoes, cubed eggplant, and jalapeno peppers. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add peas and allow to simmer until peas are hot but still bright green, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in yogurt.
  • Serve with cucumber yogurt sauce.

This is a slightly adapted version of a recipe from the mom of one my friends. She is from the state of Gujarat in India. If you have or can find dhana zeeru, you can use that in place of the ground cumin and coriander. Thank you to Mia for including this in her best of 2017!

Tips and Conclusion

Creating a flavorful and satisfying Eggplant and Potato Curry requires careful attention to detail and a blend of aromatic spices. Here are some essential tips to ensure a successful culinary experience:

  • Choose the Right Eggplants: Opt for fresh, firm, and young eggplants that are free from bruises and blemishes. These will provide the best texture and flavor to the curry.
  • Cut Eggplants Properly: To prevent bitterness, cut the eggplants into thick slices or cubes and soak them in salted water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help remove any lingering bitterness and enhance the overall taste.
  • Roast or Fry the Eggplants: Before adding the eggplants to the curry, roast or fry them until they are tender and slightly browned. This step adds a smoky flavor and caramelizes the natural sugars in the eggplants, resulting in a richer and more complex taste.
  • Use a Variety of Spices: To achieve a well-balanced flavor profile, incorporate a mix of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala. Adjust the quantities based on your personal preferences and desired level of spiciness.
  • Don't Overcook the Potatoes: To maintain their shape and texture, add the potatoes to the curry towards the end of the cooking process. Overcooking can cause them to become mushy and lose their distinct flavor.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Enhance the visual appeal and freshness of the curry by garnishing it with chopped cilantro, parsley, or mint leaves. These herbs add a vibrant touch and a burst of aromatic flavor.

In conclusion, the Eggplant and Potato Curry is a delectable and versatile dish that showcases the harmonious fusion of flavors and textures. By following these tips and experimenting with different spice combinations, you can create a culinary masterpiece that is both satisfying and memorable. Whether enjoyed as a main course or served alongside other dishes, this curry is sure to tantalize your taste buds and leave a lasting impression on your dining experience.
