I love Eggplant...in all shapes and forms...pakodas, curries and Raitas...This recipe is of a Eggplant Raita, that is easy to make and keeps folks coming back for more.... Eggplant - 1 Large
Onion - 1 medium chopped
Chillies - 2 slit vertically
Cilantro - 2 tbsps chopped
Oil - 2tsp
Turmeric + Chilli Powder (1/8 tsp each)
Salt - 3/4 tsp
Yogurt - 2 tbsps
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Cut the Eggplant vertically to make 2 long pieces. Apply oil on the skin of the eggplant and the flesh. Heat the oven at 450, place the Eggplant skin down and cook for about 20 -25 minutes. At the end, probe with a fork and ensure its fully cooked.
Remove the Eggplant and scrape off the fleshy part from the skin...set aside to cool. Now add Raita, Salt, cilantro, onions. Time to garnish...
Heat Oil, add mustard seeds, when they are done spluttering, add chillies, turmeric and chilli powder...Turn off the heat and add the seasoning to the eggplant... Mix, enjoy with Hot rotis....
This recipe stores well in the fridge for a day. The raw onion tends to get stronger in flavor as this dish rests...so best eaten fresh...
Enjoy!!
