How to cook it
-
Cut the potatoes into cubes and the eggplants into pieces of the same size, dropping the eggplant into a bowl of salted water as you go so it does not darken.
-
Heat the oil in a kadai, let the cumin seeds sizzle, then cook the chopped onion, ginger and green chili for 5 minutes until the onion turns golden.
-
Add the potatoes with the turmeric and half the salt, cover and cook 5 minutes.
-
Drain the eggplant and add it with the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, red chili powder and the rest of the salt. Stir, cover and cook on low heat 12 to 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until both vegetables are soft and the eggplant has started to collapse into the masala.
-
Sprinkle the amchur and garam masala over, cook 1 minute more and finish with cilantro. Eat it with roti and dal.
