Ingredients:
6 to 7 small purple Baigan small one ( Brinjals)
200 Grams Soyabean granuels
2 Large Onions finely chopped
1 large tomato finely chopped
2 Tsp Ginger garlic paste
1/2 Tsp Turmeric powder
1 Tsp red chili powder
1 Tsp Dana Jeera powder
1/2 Tsp Garam Masala
Water
Oil for cooking
Salt to taste
Coriander for garnishing
How to cook:-
Boil soya bean granules in plenty water with 1Tbsp salt. Boil for about 3 to 4 minutes or till the soya bean is cooked well. When done, bring the water to normal temperature and squeeze the water out of soya beans by hand and keep aside.
Make two slits n the head of the baigans. In a deep pan or kadhai take about 2 Tbsp oil and sauté the baigans for a few minutes. You will see the baigans changing colour an becoming softer. When they are about 80% cooked remove from heat and set aside.
In the same oil add onions and sauté till golden brown, add tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, salt and dhania powder,jeera powder. Mix all ingredients well and cook on medium heat covered for 10-15 mins, add few splashes of water to avoid the masala to dry.
The masala should be nice and brown, and when it starts leaving oil its done. Add a little water more (about 100ml) stir for a few more minutes and then go in the baigans and garam masala, let them simmer in the sauce for a few mins till completely cooked . Check for salt and adjust seasoning if required.
Lastly add the cooked soya bean and give it a quick stir. Remove from heat garnish with coriander and serve hot with rotis.
