How to make Achaari Aloo Baingan

  • Now, in a pan dry roast all the spices under ‘To be ground’ category.
  • In a mixer take all the roasted spices, garlic pods, ginger and grind to a fine paste using little water. Our spice mixture is now ready. Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add all the ‘Whole Spices’ and allow to crackle.
  • Now add chopped tomato, turmeric pd. and sauté till tomatoes get mushy.
  • To this…. add the spice mixture and saute till oil separates from the masala.
  • Add aloo ( potatoes ), Baingan ( eggplants ) , water and give a nice stir.
  • Season with salt. Cover the pan with a lid and allow to simmer on low to medium heat for about 20minutes or till the vegetables are cooked to your perfection.
  • Remove from heat.

Achari Aloo Baingan is ready. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve with roti, parantha or naan.

Note –

After cutting Aloo (potatoes) & Baingan (eggplants), put them in salt water to avoid browning. Strain the water just before cooking.
