Something different. I'm not a big eggplant fan, but I'll see how these go down.

Stuffed aubergines

8 – 10 mini aubergines (brinjals)
2-3 medium sized onions, finely chopped
Half a coconut - grind into a paste
6-7 garlic cloves
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1-2 green chillies
pinch of salt
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cumin seed
½ tsp red chilli powder (to taste)
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp curd
Handful chopped coriander to garnish

Blend together the coconut, garlic, poppy seeds, chillies and salt until it's a smooth paste.

Cut the brinjals into four pieces from the broad end halfway. Stuff them with the masala paste and leave aside along with the leftover paste.

Heat the oil in a deep pan on a low heat, and fry the onions until light brown. Then add turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin and red chilli powder.

Add the leftover ground paste, fry for a few minutes and add salt to taste.

Add the brinjals to the pan, add the water and curd, mix into the sauce, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender.

Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves for garnishing.

I'll be interested to hear how these turn out. I'm not a big eggplant fan either, but the wife is. Would be good to have a recipe that we both enjoy.

Well, this still didn't do much to give eggplant a life. The stuff just doesn't have flavour AFAIAC. The sauce is great though, and I'll get some big shrimp tomorrow to use it with. I pulled the seeds out of the green chilis, but that was not necessary, it wasn't that spicy.

And the quest to make eggplant taste like something continues. The best way I've cooked is in eggplant parm. Coated in breadcrumbs, pan fried and then baked in marinara and cheese. Yet, the eggplant is the only thing in that dish with no flavour.

I think that's why Italians typically marinade the hell out of the stuff.

Just because something is edible doesn't mean its food, its just non-toxic.
