Makes about 3 servings
This is another simplest yet delicious recipe. Karthik's verdict: "Super Tasty"
- Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan and season with 1tsp mustard seeds, 1tsp cumin seeds, pinch of hing, 2 slit green chillies, curry leaves
- Add 1 medium finely chopped Onion or about 10 pearl onions
- Add salt per taste and saute the onions until they brown slightly
- Add 6 chopped garlic pods and saute until translucent
- Add 2 or 3 chinese eggplant (thin and long variety) that are minced into small cubes
- Saute all until the egg plants go soft. Add a dash of turmeric powder
- Mash up the veges with the back of the laddle as they cook
- Add 1tsp of red chilly powder, 1.5tsp of coriander powder and stir well
- Soak a gooseberry size tamarind and water and take the extract
- Add the tamarind extract and let it cook for 2 mins
- Add 1 cup of water and cook them all for 5 mins or until gravy thickens
- I sometimes transfer the contents to a pressure cooker and cook for 1 whistle
- Both the stove top cooking or pressure cooking have their own unique taste and both methods result in delicious baji
- Garnish with cilantro
- Serve hot with Rice and Ghee/Oil
