As I mentioned in my earlier post, I hate to spend long hours in the kitchen. I try to cook quickly using minimum ingredients and keep my food simple n healthy. I dont overcook my veggies, cause it kills the nutrients in them.
I had one aubergine/eggplant lying in the fridge, so I decided to make a quick fix for lunch adding two small potatoes with it.
I have an immense liking to Panchporan (a mix of equal quantity of Cumin seeds, Mustard, Fenugreek seeds, Nigella seeds and Fennel seeds) So i thought, why not temper this dish with panchporan? Trust me, it tasted so good and was ready in a jiffy!
Ingredients:
One medium sized Aubergine/Eggplant (the purple one)
Two medium sized boiled Potatoes
One tbsp of Panchporan
One n a half tbsp of olive oil
Salt to taste
One tsp of turmeric powder
Method:
Cut the Aubergine into big chunks and place them in water.
Cut the boiled potatoes also into big chunks
Take a pan and on the burner. Add the oil and once it is hot, add the panchporan.
Once it starts spluttering, drop the chunks of Potatoes and saute for three to five minutes. Now remove the aubergine pieces from the water and add them to the pan.Add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and keep the pan closed, stirring inbetween. Once you see that the aubergine is almost cooked, off the gas.
Serve hot with Indian bread or rice.
Note: Make sure whenever you buy an aubergine, it should be very light when you hold it, which means it has very few seeds inside and it is fairly fresh.
