Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- To prevent the brinjals (eggplants) from becoming mushy, soak the chopped pieces in salted water for 10-15 minutes before cooking; this helps retain their texture and removes any bitterness.
- If you prefer a richer gravy, add a handful of roasted peanuts or sesame seeds ground into a paste along with the onion-tomato base for a subtle nutty flavor typical of some regional variations.
- For extra depth, temper a pinch of asafoetida (hing) with the cumin seeds at the beginning—this enhances the aroma and aids digestion, especially with starchy vegetables like potatoes.
- Leftovers taste delicious the next day as the flavors deepen; reheat gently with a splash of water and serve stuffed inside parathas or as a filling for wraps.
