Ingredients:
------------
1 large eggplant--1 to 1 1/2 lb, tip cut off and cut into 1" cubes
1 1/2 tblsp black mustard seeds, powdered in a coffee grinder
1 cup+ water
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4-5 tblsp mustard oil
1 tblsp panch pharon mix (equal parts of whole cumin, fennel,
fenugreek, mustard, kalunji seeds)
1 cup yogurt
1 1/2 tsp salt
sprinkle black pepper, cardamon powder (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Soak ground mustard seed and cayenne in one cup of water. Cut up
eggplant into cubes. Heat mustard oil, put in panch pharon mix and
after a few seconds add the black mustard/cayenne water. This will
splatter so have a cover ready. Add eggplant and cook. You will
probably need to add additional water as the eggplant cooks to keep its
level about the same, perhaps another cup. Cover it for the last ten
minutes.
When the eggplant is cooked add a cup of yogurt and the salt, mix and
heat up yogurt, but do not boil.
Sprinkle a tiny bit of black pepper and cardamon over the top if you
want.
This dish also tastes good cold the next day.
Variation:
----------
Anasua Munshi tells me that in his grandmother's village they make this
without the yogurt, substituting green chillis for cayenne and using
only fennel for the panch pharon mixture.
