Method :

​

* 1. Saute chopped onion in oil until brown. Meanwhile puree peeled garlic cloves with a few grains of salt and enough fresh lime juice to form a paste. Add garlic and tomato to onions; stir to combine; saute until it forms a sauce. Add red chilli powder (or flakes), garam masala, and salt.
* Cook it for a couple of minutes to temper.
* 2. Add aubergine and potato cubes; stir to coat. Add 1/2 cup water; reduce heat. Let it cook, stirring occasionally, until done (about 15 minutes).
* Serve garnished with cilantro leaves. Offer plum chutney or other sweet-sour relish. EACH: 161 cals, 6g fat (28% cff).

TIP:
The smaller the cubes, the faster they cook. Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch bites and aubergine into 1-inch bites so that they cook evenly. An alternative to garam masala: season to taste with a mixture of pumpkin pie spice and curry powder.

* Serve as entree with basmati rice and a cucumber raita; or as a side dish
