Baingan Aloo / Small Eggplant with Potatoes
I love the versatility of eggplants. I do not understand why eggplant is not very popular among people. I love eggplants and they are so simple to cook and this particular recipe is stress free. It cooks on its own and you really do not have to do much. Try this once and you would be addicted to this. It definitely tastes better if cooked in mustard oil but you can use oil. If you are using mustard oil, make sure you heat it enough so it reaches the high smoking point or just burn a clove of garlic in it and it would take the bitterness of the mustard oil away.
