  2. 2 large potatoes, cut into cubes
  3. 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
  4. 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  5. 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  6. 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
  7. 2 tablespoons oil
  8. 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  9. 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  10. 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  11. 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  12. Salt to taste

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. When they crackle, add potatoes, onions and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or till the onions turn light brown. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes or till the potatoes are almost half cooked.
  2. Add the aubergines, tomatoes, ginger, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover the pan.

  4. Serve hot as a main dish with roti/paratha and raita or as a side dish with dal-rice.
