Urmila's Baked Potato and Eggplant Curry image

This is a slightly adapted version of a recipe from the mom of one my friends. She is from the state of Gujarat in India. If you have or can find dhana zeeru, you can use that in place of the ground cumin and coriander. Thank you to Mia for including this in her best of 2017!

4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup peanuts or 1/4 cup cashews, ground
1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon indian chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, juice of
0.5 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 large eggplant

Add tomato spice mixture to the dish and mix gently. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until potatoes and eggplant are soft.

Tips:

Choose firm, ripe eggplants that are free of blemishes. Cutting the eggplant into uniform-sized cubes will help it cook evenly.
Soaking the eggplant in salted water before cooking will help to remove any bitterness.
Be sure to drain the eggplant thoroughly after soaking to prevent the curry from becoming watery.
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the curry so that the vegetables have plenty of room to brown.
Add a bit of tamarind paste or lemon juice to the curry for a tangy flavor.
Serve the curry with rice, roti, or naan bread.
