I have never made white small oblong baingan in my life, but this week while doing my regular shopping for grocery, I saw them beckoning to me & I very quicking obliged by picking up a batch. While doing so, there was this lady next to me, who asked me how I made them coz she had never made them. ......now I cooked up a very recipe in my mind & told her so, but also added that I've never tried it. She gave me a wiered look & walked away without buying the eggplant. Here goes my recipe & it indeed was wonderful.
Ing -
250 gms - white baingan (small oblong ones)
1 onion - chopped finely
1/2 inch pc of ginger - grated
3/4 flakes - garlic grated
1/2 tspn - haldi
1/2 tspn - amchur
4/5 - green chillies (I made them really spicy)
Method -
Wash & dice the eggplants.
In a kadai, add some oil & add the garlic & ginger grated
When they turn brown, add the onions & stir for about 1/2 minute
Add the baingan, green chillies & some salt & close the lid.
Let the baingan cook thoroughly.
Now add all the masalas & cook for about 2 minutes with closed lid
Serve with chappatis.

Hi Shella, your post made me laugh - that lady must have wondered how you recommended a recipe you never made - let's hope she sees this post!
I grew some of those this year, love the texture and taste too. Dish looks delicious!:))
RAK's kitchen - do try & let me know. We all really loved the texture.
Sra - I visited your blog - really good. Keep it up. I am sure she wont. That Kashmiri aunty will never come blogging my way I am sure.
Asha - Wow Asha you grew them. You are such a nice girl.
Shella, thank you for visiting my blog and patiently commenting on all those posts - I saw all of them - won't be able to reply just now but I wanted to let you know they're much appreciated.
