Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Eggplants

Wash the eggplants and cut them into quarters lengthwise. Set aside.

2

Sauté Aromatics

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and red chili peppers. Sauté until the shallots are translucent and fragrant.

3

Cook the Eggplants

Add the eggplants to the pan and stir well to combine with the aromatics. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Add Seasonings

Stir in the tamarind paste, sugar, salt, and water. Mix well and cover the pan. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender.

5

Final Touch

Once cooked, remove the lid and let the mixture thicken for a couple of minutes. Stir in the fresh coriander before serving.
