I am back to my Indian roots with this recipe. The famous aloo baingan also known as potato eggplant curry is made many ways. Today I am happy to share with you one of the easiest and express way to cook it.
No roasting, no long hours of cooking required to make this yummy version of aloo baingan. Everything goes raw into one pot and within minutes a delicious curry is ready to devour.
Oh! how I love under 30 minute meals!! I am sure you prefer them too. You may like these delicious instant pot recipes here too.
I served this curry with some chilled raita , salad and home made fresh Rotis.
I have used baby eggplants for this recipe . Just cut it into halves. And I have even roughly cubed the potatoes in approx. 2” chunks. The idea behind keeping them so big is that I did not want a mushy curry. Big chunks will cook through but remain intact at the same time. Given below is step by step instructions followed by important notes including how to cook this curry in stove top pressure cooker and possible substitution. For traditional stove top pressure cooker method cook up to 3 whistles on medium heat. Don’t have a pressure cooker/ Instant Pot , here is what you will do- You can easily cook it in a heavy bottom broad pan. Peel and Cube potatoes ½ ” approx for faster cooking. Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan and sautee the potatoes until partially cooked on a medium to low heat , stirring occasionally . This should take 5-7 minutes. Then add the chopped eggplant , puree , spices, salt . Give it a quick mix. Add enough water just that the potatoes and eggplant are submerged well. Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes , checking and stirring occasionally in between the process. Add more water now if needed. Your curry is ready when the eggplant and potatoes are tender to feel when smashed with a spoon. Never miss a recipe . If you like being here do subscribe to my blog.
