My mom-in-law’s special!
Method:
Wash and slit mini baingan. Mix salt, red chili powder, dhania powder, amchur, lots of coarsely ground saunf and a little garam masala. Fill each baingan with this mix. Heat pan with some oil. Put mini baingan in pan and sear on high heat till outer skin becomes slightly crisp. Then sprinkle lightly with water, cover and cook till tender. Then open lid and saute on medium high till all the liquid dries up and the masala leaves oil.! Serve with either Kadi-chawal/ Rajmah-chawal/ Dal-chawal!
