Steps to make Spicy "Baingan-ka-Bhartha"Brinjal Curry:
First wash the two Brinjals and poke them all over with a deep fork - smear them with oil - leave them for an hour or so
With a sharp knife "Score" each of the Brinjals into six sections - just cutting through the skin - not into the Brinjal
Burn the skin of the Brinjals on the open fire (keep turning them with a pair of tongs) till the skin is almost all wrinkled and blackish
Remove the green cap and the stem attached to it
Cut the slieces six per Brinjal along the scored places
Cool the Brinjals and sprinkle a little paprika onto the pulpy inside of each slice - and put them aside till later
Use a Pressure Cooker for a quick cook-up - or a normal big pot
Take a pinch of each Masala and lightly "burn" with a tablespoon of oil
With a wooden spoon keep mixing the 'Masalas' in the dish - till you get a good smell of the mix (don't worry if it all sticks to the bottom of the dish - keep scraping it off gently) This is called the "Bhigar"!
Add the chopped/diced Onions in the 'masala-mix' for 2-3 minutes - till slightly brown
Put the pre-chopped Tomatoes into the dish and swirl it all around
Add another pinch or two of Salt & Sugar - mix on a low heat for 2-3 minutes
Squeeze some lemon - and add chopped green chillies - into the mix - sprinkle a tea-spoonful of white vinegar into the mix
Add half a cup of water & put the lid on the pressure cooker
Heat for 5 minutes - for the first hiss - switch off the heat
Wait for it all to cool - remove the whistle slowly - take off the lid
Add a table-spoonful of Imli (Tamarind) Paste if you like it to have a "sour-ish" flavour
Add the Brinjals into the mix (add one half cup more of water- if you want to have a "liquidy"curry)! Some prefer a "pastey" consistency
Put the lid back on - and cook till the second hiss 10 minutes or so
Your 'Baingan-Ka-Bharta' is ready
Serve with Yogurt and Chapatis or White Rice.
Adding pickles/salt to taste ENJOY!
