Stuufed Eggplants:
Stuffed Brinjal. Stuffed Baingan. Karhirikkai Nirachadhu.
Sometimes, I feel awkward to post my regular cooking!!! I know its not blog-worthy:( But you see, when you live in a new nation…things are not the same! Spotting native stuff happens only after some time consuming travel(atleast in my place). And of course its very fascinating in one way.:) That is why, the Simple Coconut Chutney(which Mommy made zillion times) is not simple anymore (where I see good quality coconut once in a blue moon!!!)and Masala Vadai (which I ate and grew upon) became almost now A Symbol of Love. Yes, it is…food’ stirs up all the nostalgic past! So, here you go…bit labor intensive but fulfilling recipe, I tried my best with Japanese Eggplants, which my great grandmother wouldn’t have approved:):)
Ingredients:
Eggplants 1/4 kilo
Ginger-garlic paste
Onion paste
Salt
Turmeric
Chili powder
Sesame oil few spoons.
To be Toasted and Powdered:
Coriander seeds 2 spoons
Cumin seeds 1 spoon
Pepper 1/2 spoon
Cloves 2
Cinnamon 1 stick
Poppy seeds 1/2 spoon
Sesame seeds 2 spoons
Dry red chilies 5
Dry coconut 2 spoons.
Method:
Slit the veggie twice and bake them for 10 minutes.
In a wide wok, heat oil and fry ginger-garlic and onion…add the spices to it. Now puree them.
Stuff the above masala in the vegetable.
Once again, heat oil in a wide wok…add these stuffed vegetable and stir-fry over high heat. Once the oil shows up on the sides plus the raw odour of the masalas are gone, its done.
Serve to go with your rotis or plain steamed rice.
