Ingredients

  • 250 gms brinjal
  • 1 cup tomato
  • Salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • Coconut milk
  • 1 cup onions
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Eggplant Curry is a flavor-packed journey you're going to love. Here's how to whip up this eggplant curry recipe like a pro. Start by heating oil in a pan and adding mustard and cumin seeds.
  • Once they start popping (like a mini fireworks show), toss in curry leaves and fry for about a minute.
  • Saut finely chopped onions and green chili until golden perfection. While the onions are doing their thing, rinse and cube those brinjals (aka eggplants).
  • Spot some seeds? No worries, scoop them out and keep the cubes soaking in salted water to prevent discoloration and nix any bitterness.
  • Back to the pan—add ginger-garlic paste to the golden onions and saut for about a minute until the raw smell takes a hike.
  • Now, tomatoes join the party along with a pinch of salt. Fry for 2 minutes and then cover to let those tomatoes turn soft and mushy. Throw in some red chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala—saut until fragrant.
  • Drain your brinjal cubes and introduce them to the masala mix. Give it all a good stir and saut on a medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add half a cup of water, cover the pan, and cook the eggplants until they're tender and dreamy. If you're all about that thick, luscious curry, simmer it until slightly mushy.
  • Want to keep things creamy? Add a splash of thick coconut milk and simmer until the curry bubbles gently. Taste-test for salt, spice, or extra garam masala vibes, and sprinkle some fresh coriander leaves for the finishing touch.
  • And there you have it—Eggplant Curry, ready to be devoured.
  • Serve it up with steamed rice, roti, or any flatbread for the ultimate comfort meal. This recipe of eggplant curry is your new go-to for a cozy, flavorful feast.
