#1 Aloo Baigan






Ingredients:

Aubergines (preferably round ones), 2 cups, cubed
Potatoes, 2 cups, cubed
Knorr chicken cubes, 2
Tomatoes, 1 cup, diced
Salt 1 tsp (or to taste)
Red chili powder, 2 tsp, leveled (or to taste)
Turmeric powder, 2 tsp, leveled
Oil 1/2 cup
Green chilies, whole, slit into two, 4
Ginger, crushed, 1 tbsp
Garlic, crushed, 1 tsp (optional)
Water, 1 cup

Method:

Heat oil in a pot. Add ginger, garlic and tomatoes. Stir fry for a good 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat. Now add the cubed aubergines, potatoes, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, Knorr chicken cubes and 1 a cup of water. Increase the heat and let the water come to a fierce boil, then lower the flame again and cover, and cook till the potatoes are just done; about 9-12 minutes. Then right at the end, add the green chilies, mix and serve!

You can also make this dish in a pressure cooker to save time. After frying the tomatoes and ginger-garlic, I add everything and close the lid of the cooker and cook for 5-7 minutes, or till the first whistle starts to blow. Take it off the heat, open and mix in the green chilies and serve!


*I personally don't like my vegetables overcooked, so the aubergines or the potatoes aren't very mushy, if you'd like to cook them more, you can definitely go ahead with your preference!
