Ingredients
  

  • 19-20 Small baingan/brinjals/eggplants/aubergine 500 grams
  • 1 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • 1 tsp Mango powder
  • Salt as per taste
  • 3 tbsp Oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash and keep aside baingan so that they turn dry. Cutting their stem is your personal choice. However we don't cut it.
  • Take a small bowl and add all the spices mentioned, which includes red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, Garam masala, Mango powder, salt and give them a good mix. Keep aside.
  • Now take a baingan & from the lower side (extreme opposite to stem side), cut 2 marks across the baingan dividing it in 4 parts. MOST IMPORTANT point is that don't cut in a way that 4 parts get separated. Baingan should remain intact from the stem side. Cut all the baingans likewise.
  • Using your fingers tips, fill the spices mix in each baingan one by one. You can also use spoon if you like.
  • Now add oil in a wide pan and place on flame. We are using mustard oil but you can take any oil you usually use for everyday cooking.
  • When the oil gets cooked, as it was mustard one, add all the brinjals one by one in the pan.
  • Cover the pan with a lid. Let them cook on low flame for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and turn their side.
  • Likewise keep on cooking it with the lid on, then turning their side after short intervals, again lid on & so on. They need to be checked quite often & turning their side so that baingans must not burn.
  • When the baingans turn soft & mushy, they are done. It may take from 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm with chapati or the way you want.
