Eggplant And Tomato sabzi / baingan aur tamatar ki sabzi


Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables. I love cooking with it and use it either in curries, sabzi or in sambar. Today, I will be sharing with you all a very delicious and easy to prepare sabzi that goes perfectly well with hot phulkas or roti.







Ingredients:
Note: All measurements are based on the US measuring cup and spoon sizes where 1 cup = 235 ml
  • Eggplant / baingan (small variety) : 500 grams

Procedure:
  • Wash the eggplants and cut them in to pieces and keep them in salt water until ready for use.
