Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic -- crushed

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 green chillies -- finely chopped (1-2)

1 piece ginger root -- (1 inch) grated

1 pound aubergines (eggplant)-- cut, into 3/4 inch

cubes,(salted,

pressed for 30 minutes, rinsed and drained

1 teaspoon garam masala -- or to taste

 

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or casserole until golden. Stir in the

turmeric and cumin seeds and mix well, then add the chilli, ginger and

aubergine and stir. Cover and cook over a very low heat for 20 minutes.

Remove the lid from the pan and cook uncovered until most of the moisture

has evaporated and the aubergine is tender. Sprinkle over the garam masala

and heat through, then serve.

 

Note - slicing and salting aubergines before use draws off their slightly

bitter juices and it also reduces the amount of oil they absorb.
