Yield Makes 8 (appetizer) servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 white onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
4 whole cloves
4 cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon water
2 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
8 small Japanese eggplants, halved lengthwise, cut side scored
2 cups canned vegetable broth
Chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 12 minutes. Add chili powder and next 4 ingredients. Cook until spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Mix in garlic, cloves, cardamom and bay leaves. Set aside. Cook sesame seeds in medium skillet over medium heat until golden, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. Transfer to processor; grind to coarse powder. Add 3 tablespoons oil, onion mixture, 1 tablespoon water and ginger; blend until mixture forms paste. Season with salt. Spread 1/3 cup paste over scored side of eggplants (reserve remaining paste in processor). Steam eggplants, paste side up, until tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add broth to remaining sesame paste in processor; blend well. Transfer to small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to sauce consistency, about 8 minutes. Transfer eggplants to plate. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with cilantro.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the sesame seed sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
