    This was fantastic! Thank you so much Katie for sharing... I've been looking for new ways to cook with eggplant and this was perfect. I went on the conservative side for the cayenne, but next time I'll be doing the full 1/2 tsp. Perfect tasting and I served it with naan over a bed of rice.

    Brinjal (Eggplant) Curry,This aubergine bhaji recipe has won rave reviews from my South Indian in-laws, who have very discerning palates when it comes to authentic currys. This dish can either be used as a side dish, or as a vegetarian main dish. It’s easy, delicious and a great way to introduce different veggies to your kids.,This was fantastic!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Cut the Eggplants Into 1-Inch Pieces- Preferably Keeping at Least One Side of Each Piece With the Skin On.

    2
    Done

    Put the Eggplant Pieces Into a Strainer and Sprinkle Liberally With Salt. Place a Small Plate on Top of the Eggplant, and a Weight on Top of the Plate- This Process Draws the Excess Water Out of the Eggplant, and It Won't Be Overly Salty. Leave For at Least 30 Minutes.

    3
    Done

    Heat 1 1/2 Tbsp Oil in a Heavy Pan. When Hot, Add Mustard Seeds- They Will Start to Pop in a Few Seconds. When They Begin to Pop, Add the Sliced Onions, Garlic and Ginger. Turn the Heat to Medium, and Cook Until Mixture Is Nicely Browned.

    4
    Done

    Add Cayenne Pepper, Tumeric, Garam Masala and Cumin to the Onion Mixture. Cook Spices For a Few Minutes, Then Add Water and Tomato Paste, and Reduce Heat to Low. Let the Sauce Cook Gently, but Don't Allow It to Become Dry.

    5
    Done

    in a Large Skillet, Heat 1 1/2 Tbsp Oil Over Moderate Heat. Add Eggplant Pieces to the Pan, and Arrange in a Single Layer. Saute Until All Sides Are Brown and Crisp.

    6
    Done

    Once All Eggplant Pieces Are Browned, Incorporate Them Into the Sauce Pan, Making Sure to Cover All Pieces With the Sauce. Add Lemon Juice and Salt.

    7
    Done

    Cook Gently Until Eggplant Is Cooked Through (about 15-20 Minutes). Stir Occasionally (and Very Gently) and Serve.
