Time 1h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 eggplant, firm, weighing about 1 . 5 pounds
4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 small russet potatoes or 3 small red potatoes
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons safflower oil
1 bay leaf
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/2 inch squares
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 cup canned tomato, chopped
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup juice from the tomatoes
salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
fresh cilantro leaves, left whole (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut several slits in the eggplant, stuff with sliced garlic.
  • Bake the eggplant and potatoes on cookie sheet until eggplant is shriveled and potatoes are done, about an hour.
  • When vegetables cool enough to handle, peel the eggplant and chop the flesh into large pieces.
  • Cut potatoes, with skins, into 1/2 inch chunks.
  • Roast cumin seeds in dry skillet until you can smell them, about 10 seconds. Grind half into a powder and set aside whole for garnish.
  • In large heavy pan, heat the oil with the bay leaf. When it is hot, add the onion, ground cumin, and ginger.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are lightly colored, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the eggplant, potato, tomato and the liquid and gently combine with the onions.
  • Season with salt.
  • Cook over medium heat until the whole stew is thoroughly warmed and cooked.
  • Stir in the yogurt and chopped cilantro, leaving marbled streaks throughout, and garnish with the whole cumin seeds and the cilantro leaves.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I actually really enjoyed this stew. The potatoes and cumin were a great combination.

This stew was a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less oil next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra cumin and chili powder to give it more flavor.
