Ingredients
- 500 grams Eggplant (Baigan)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 small, slit Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the eggplants and cut them into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and sauté until they begin to crackle.
Step 3
Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and slit green chili, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the eggplant cubes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well so that the spices coat the eggplant evenly.
Step 6
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender and fully cooked.
Step 7
Once the eggplant is cooked, remove the lid and let the remaining moisture evaporate if there's any excess liquid. Stir gently to avoid mashing the eggplant.
Step 8
Garnish the Keto Baigan ki Subji with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot as a standalone low-carb dish or with a keto-friendly side such as cauliflower rice.
