Eggplant Curry with Garam Masala

A vibrant, Indian-inspired dish! I'm a huge fan of eggplant and just about anything you can make with it. I recently had an Indian eggplant curry with garam masala at a friend's place — the flavor was incredible. I jotted down the recipe, made it at home, and it turned out beautifully. Give it a try; I promise you'll be as delighted as I was!

  • Let's start with the star ingredient — the eggplant:
    • rinse the eggplant and cut it into large chunks;
    • arrange the pieces in a steamer basket and steam for 7 minutes.
  • That's it! The eggplant is now tender and you can move on to the rest of the dish:
    1. Peel and rinse the onion, then slice it into half-moons.
    1. Peel the ginger too (as thinly as you can) and cut it into small dice.
    1. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and ginger for 4 minutes.
    1. Peel the garlic, slice it thin, and add it to the pan along with a piece of hot chili (if you'd like more heat, chop the chili finely). Stir and cook for 1 minute.
    1. Add the steamed eggplant to the pan along with the spices: curry powder, turmeric, cumin, mustard, garam masala, and salt. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes.
    1. Rinse the tomatoes, dice them, and add them to the pan. Stir in the tomato paste and a splash of water, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • The eggplant curry is ready. Let it rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve. Steamed rice makes a perfect side.
  • Enjoy!
