SPICY AUBERGINE IN GRAVY ( BAIGAN IN MASALA)

INGREDIENTS

aubergine/ baigan   250 gm cut long & slightly thick
onion  2 chopped into small pieces
tomatoes  2 chopped small
milk / coconut milk  1 cup
ginger-garlic paste  2 tsp
oil   3 tbsp
chilli pdr.   3 tsp  or to taste
mustard seeds  1 tsp
cumin/ jeera  1  tsp
curry leaves  2 sprigs
salt to taste

METHOD

in a heavy pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, once it crackles, add cumin, saute it till crackles, then add ginger-garlic paste, be careful, as it splutter all over, reduce flame, keep frying or it will get stuck down.
once the paste is fried for about 2 minutes, add onion fry till light pink, add 1 sprig curry leaves finely chopped
then add tomatoes, fry well, add salt & chilli pdr., fry well
then add aubergine, fry on low flame stirring often, or if you're in a hurry, you may cover & cook, as it will cook faster, but slow cooking enhances the flavour.
once aubergine are 3/4 cooked, add milk, cook on low flame, till aubergine gets cooked & milk is fully absorbed.
when oil floats in top, it means it is ready to serve !
just before removing, add finely chopped curry leaves, as this gives added flavour.

NOTE- if you add coconut milk, it will give different flavour, so may be on different days, you can try different flavours & see what you/ the family likes !

this will go well with rice, roti. as milk is added & also more oil, it will neutralis. the spiciness.
