Preparation
Prepare the eggplants:
-Wash the eggplants and make a deep slit in each eggplant without cutting them into two pieces entirely. Keep them aside.
Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine the red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, salt, chopped coriander leaves, and amchur. Mix well to form a stuffing mixture.
Stuff the eggplants: Gently stuff each eggplant with the prepared stuffing mixture. Ensure that the stuffing goes into the slits you made earlier.
In a wide, shallow pan, heat oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves. Allow them to splutter.
Carefully place the stuffed eggplants in the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the eggplants are tender and cooked through.
Bharwa Baigan is ready to be served hot.
