🍆🥔 Special Brinjal Potato Mixed Curry Tutorial

A simple step-by-step tutorial for your special home-style curry.


Ingredients

  • 6–7 brinjals (eggplants)
  • 3–4 potatoes
  • 2 drumstick pieces
  • 4–5 small onions
  • 1/2 cup field beans

Masala Mix

  • 2 onions
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • Salt as needed

Tempering

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp methi dana
  • A pinch of hing

👩‍🍳 Tutorial Steps

Step 1: Cut the vegetables

Wash and cut the brinjals and potatoes into medium pieces. Cut drumsticks into small pieces. Peel the small onions.

Step 2: Make the special hand-mixed masala

Take chopped onions and tomatoes in a bowl. Add peanuts, coconut, coriander, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, and salt.

Now mix everything well with your hand. Crush the onions and tomatoes nicely until it becomes a soft dough-like paste. This is the special step that gives the curry extra taste.

Step 3: Heat the pressure cooker

Add oil. Add methi dana and hing. Let it fry for a few seconds.

Step 4: Fry the masala

Add the hand-mixed masala paste. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the raw smell goes away.

Step 5: Add vegetables

Add brinjal, potato, drumstick, and beans. Mix everything nicely.

Step 6: Pressure cook

Add a little water. Close the lid. Cook for 2 whistles.

Step 7: Serve

Let the pressure release. Open and mix gently. Serve hot with rice or chapati.


🌟 Tip

The secret taste comes from mixing the masala by hand into a dough-like paste before cooking.
