Brinjal/aubergine, curry- Microwave

Cut brinjal into long thin slices, put 1/2 tsp of turmeric pdr. & salt 1 tsp for 1/2 kg of brinjal, mix well & keep aside for 30 minutes.
Cut 2 big onion long & thin, put wee bit salt, few drops of oil & micro high for 2 min. Squeeze the brinjal well, as at times, it has a sour taste, that will go with the water, when we squeeze it. Another thing, brinjal normally adds water when we cook, this way, the curry will remain dry. Add the brinjal, micro high for 6 min., turning every 3 min. When you feel it is almost cooked, add the curry pdr to taste, 2 tsp of oil & salt 1/2- 3/4 tsp, as per taste, mix well & micro high for another 2-3 min.
This goes well with rice, roti. This is what I had lunch today. Brinjal is rich in iron, good for health. Those who love potatoes, may add potatoes before you add brinjal & cook slightly, as brinjal will cook faster than potatoes. But the diabetic patients & weight watchers would prefer to avoid potatoes.
