Stuffed Baby Eggplants

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preparing the Eggplants

    Wash the baby eggplants and make a cross slit in each, keeping the stem intact. This will create a pocket for stuffing.

  2. 2

    Making the Stuffing

    In a bowl, mix together the goda masala, chopped cashews, grated coconut, turmeric powder, and salt. Stuff this mixture into the slit of each eggplant.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Eggplants

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the stuffed eggplants in the pan and sauté them for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Add water to the pan, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the eggplants are tender and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Garnishing

    Once cooked, remove the lid, check for salt, and add more if necessary. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.
