Achari Aloo BainganĀ
- I am using small brinjal in this recipe.
Wash and cut 250 grams brinjal into two halves. - Peel wash and cut 1 large potato into small pieces.
- Now take brinjal and potato in a bowl or a plate.
- Add turmeric, red chilly powder and pinch of carom seeds. I am not adding rice powder in my recipe but you can also add 1 tablespoon of rice powder to it if you want. Mix everything and keep aside.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoon of oil in a pan.
Add mixed brinjal and potato in it and shallow fry it from both the sides. - Fry till it is 80-85 percent cooked.
Brinjal will cook faster compared to potato so remove brinjal first and then potato when it is 80 percent cooked. - Once you have removed vegetables from the pan add more 2-3 tablespoon oil in it.
- Once oil is heated add mixed panch phoran which has pinch of each 5 whole spices (cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, carom seeds and fenugreek seeds).
- Add chopped onion and fry till translucent.
- Add finely chopped garlic to it.
After adding garlic add some mustard oil to onion garlic. It will give good taste to the sabzi. - Stir and fry for 5 minutes and then add tomato pieces to it.
- Add pinch of salt and allow it to cook till tomato becomes soft.
- Now add fried potato (Alu) and brinjal (baingan) to it.
- Put dry spices turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilly powder and garam masala.
- Put salt to taste and mix everything.
- Add more mustard oil if required.

- Mix and cover the lid.
- Cook for more 10 minutes on low flame till the curry becomes thick.
- Switch off the flame.
Achari Aloo Baingan is ready to be served. Serve it with parathas or chapati.
