This recipe is made with tender and small eggplant in a peanut and coconut-based gravy. The recipe mainly hails from Andhra cuisine or Telugu cuisine but is popular among other South Indian states too. Pair with Roti/Rice
Add 300g small brinjal (cut into quarters) and 3 tbsp refined oil to The Upliance jar. The device will pre-cook the brinjal for approximately 14 minutes at medium heat with automatic stirring. Remove the cooked brinjal into a separate bowl. Without rinsing the jar, add 2 pieces onion (cut into two), 6 cloves garlic (peeled), and 1 piece green chilli (stem removed). The Upliance will chop these aromatics coarsely for a short duration at low heat.
Add 1 tbsp refined oil to The Upliance jar with the chopped aromatics. The Upliance will sauté them for approximately 3 minutes at medium heat with automatic stirring until softened. Then, add 20g roasted peanuts, 1 tsp coriander powder, 0.5 tsp turmeric, 0.75 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp Kashmiri mirch, and 2 pieces tomato (cut into two) to The Upliance jar. The Upliance will cook this mixture for approximately 12 minutes at medium heat with automatic stirring to form a thick gravy base.
Add the previously cooked brinjal, 0.75 tsp garam masala, and 60 ml water to The Upliance jar. The Upliance will gently simmer the gravy for approximately 12 minutes at medium heat with intermittent stirring, allowing flavors to meld.
Garnish the Brinjal Gravy with 2 stems minced coriander leaves. The dish is now ready to be served hot with roti or rice.
