Directions

Step 1

Wash and cube the brinjals, keeping them in water to prevent browning.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder, stirring well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.

Step 7

Mix in the chopped tomato and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Drain the brinjal cubes and add them to the pan, stirring to combine with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the brinjal is tender.
