Instructions

    To begin making the Baingan Tamatar Sabzi/ Baingan Masala Recipe, we will first cook the baingan (eggplant) separately

  3. 3

    Cover the pan and cook the baingan on low to medium heat until it is partially cooked

  4. 4

    When the pan is covered, it develops steam that will help the baingan to cook without any water

  5. 5

    Once the baingan is partially cooked, uncover the pan and roast the baingan until it is fully cooked

  6. 6

    We open it at a stage when it is partially cooked, as we dont want the baingan to get mushy, you want it to remain firm, yet cooked

    So it is important to cook it without the lid in the second half

    Once you feel the baingan is cooked well, turn off the heat
