         Aloo baingan combination can be made in many ways such as they can be combined to make curry, aloo baingan fry or aloo baingan dry etc….

            In this recipe I have used tamatar and few spices to get the gravy and it can also be made without using tamatar. Some people prefer to eat this vegetable a lot and some do not. Baingan or Brinjal as it is sometimes called is a wonderful vegetable with which many recipes can be tried in various ways.

            Baingan is available in many sizes small, large and medium and different eggplant gives different tastes therefore, choose the one which is regularly used in your household.

           This recipe is very common and the mix of aloo and baingan lifts up the flavors of the curry. Aloo baingan curry is almost the same but in some places like punjab some of the veg recipes use garam masala powder too.

         Here, in this recipe I did not add garam masala powder into it and made the gravy by pressure cooking the vegetables to cook it quickly. This is a common recipe almost made the similar way in all regions of India such as hyderabad, punjab, north india etc…with slight variations here and there.

Instructions

1. Firstly, cut eggplant/baingan into pieces, wash them, mix them with some salt and haldi and rest aside for 10-15 minutes which helps in removing strange baingan smell from the curry.

11. Reduce the steam and cook for few more minutes if there is any water remaining.

Recipe Notes

1.Additional spices such as garam masala powder too can be added.
2.Here I have added ginger garlic paste but some prefer to add only garlic paste or chopped garlic and go for it if that way is preferred instead of ginger garlic paste.
3.Few methi leaves too can be added if willing for a better flavor...
