For my love of Eggplants!
Did I mention I love eggplants? Haha! Yes, I sure did!! Here’s a recipe that’s a delight to entertain with. It always leaves my guests licking their fingers!
Bagare Baingan (Stuffed Eggplant)
Ingredients:
8-10 pieces of tiny eggplants
1 tbsp red chili powder
2 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp jeera powder
Salt, to taste
2 tbsp lemon juice
Method:
Mix all the ingredients of the stuffing in a bowl and set aside. Wash the eggplants and slit half-way through the middle without cutting them into halves. Spread the filling into the slits of the eggplants.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add the stuffed eggplants. Cover cook for 10-15 minutes on medium-low heat, turning them every few minutes to get them brown on all sides.
