Ingredients
 

  • ¾ of a large globe eggplant
  • 2 medium size potatoes (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tomato (7 oz, sliced or chopped)
  • 1 small onion (5 oz, thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • Slice the Eggplant and peeled potatoes into small wedges. Place the eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon turmeric powder. Mix it around and keep aside for 15 minutes. This will soften the eggplant and avoid it from soaking too much oil when you prepare the dish.
  • In a heavy bottom pan or skillet, pour the oil and once it heats up, add the potatoes and give it a stir. Season with salt and turmeric. Cover the pan and let the potatoes fry for 5 minutes.
  • To the potatoes now add eggplant and fry uncovered for 3 minutes. Take out both the potatoes and eggplant from the pan.
  • Scatter the cumin seeds, let it sizzle for a few seconds and add the sliced onion, add a pinch of salt and add the sugar. Stir it around and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add all the ground spices along with the tomatoes and toss it around to cook until it looks soft.
  • Add the fried eggplant and potatoes and toss it around for 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the garam masala powder (if using) and finish with chopped cilantro leaves.
  • Enjoy the Aloo Baigan Ki Sabji warm with rice or paratha.
