Baingan = Eggplants/ Aubergines/ Brinjal
Aloo = Potato
Methi = Fenugreek Leaves

I am such a baingan lover and my husband runs in the other direction when he sees baingan. Well over the period of time , he has atleast stopped running and actually serves some on his plate. That is another matter, that when he is done with his meal, I can still see the major portion still sitting there. Lol! You may call me “control freak” and I admit that I am one! I scan everybody’s plate at the end of the meal. 😂
The original plan that day was to make plain aloo-methi or aloo-baingan. But it sounded too boring to me. I was craving for some good curry, not the usual North Indian onion tomato curry, but something different and finger licking and not too much of work. Therefore this curry happened in my kitchen and what a happening curry it was !
This is how it was done!

Oh.. coastal korma curry sounds v interesting. I like it when original plans lead us to such inviting curries! 🙂
Me too Aditi! Regular is sooo boring for me!
I always look at empty plates and get a score out of 10 lol. Oooh gluten free yum something to go in to my scrapbook. Did you ever do the low Fodmap? X
You know I will love this!! I have a couple of questions: I have dried methi leaves, will that be okay? And how much should I use?
And what colour mustard seeds do you use, or does it not matter which?
Thank you xx
Elaine, recipe updated for you☺️.
Black mustard seeds
And
1&1/2 tbsp dried leaves
Thank you honey xx
Do different mustard seeds have really different flavours?
I love eggplants Sonal and I’m just drooling over that plate 😉
You and me together Linda!!
Yes xx
Good to know that there is another Baingan lover who has a husband who runs in the opposite direction at the sight of this veggie. 😀 Lovely recipe and surely gonna try!

Mmmm, I can smell the aroma of the ground spices. Wonderful combination!
This looks really good
This is one of my favorite dishes. I believe it has its origins in Hyderabad. Love your pictures Sonal!
Hahhah, I scan everyone’s plate at the end of a meal too, Sonal. 🙂 How else are we to judge if the family liked the meal or loved the meal? I’ll gladly eat the portion your husband leaves behind… I LOVE anything with eggplant! Yummy dish!
