Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (1 1/4 pound) eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon fenugreek seeds, crushed
½ teaspoon kalonji (onion seed)
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
1 green chile pepper, seeded and chopped
¼ cup tomato puree
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet, and fry eggplant pieces until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the skillet and set aside; wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Heat the 6 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cumin, fenugreek, kalonji, and sesame seeds, and cook until the cumin turns golden, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat; stir in the ginger and garlic, and cook for a few seconds. Stir in the onions and green chile pepper, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the tomato puree, chili powder, coriander, turmeric, and salt into the onions. Cook and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the oil separates. Stir in the cooked eggplant; cover and simmer until eggplant is tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk; stir until blended and heated through. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some eggplant that was starting to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The eggplant was transformed into a delicious and flavorful dish.
