How to Make Aloo Bengun
- Boil 500g potatoes, peeled and cubed, with 1L water, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp turmeric for 10-15 minutes until almost tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, finely chopped, and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated). Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add 2 medium eggplants, chopped into 1-inch cubes, to the pan.
- Simmer uncovered on medium heat for 20-30 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender. Add the cooked potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir well to combine and allow to simmer for the remaining time.
- Once cooked, carefully remove as much excess oil as possible. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (chopped) before serving. Enjoy!
