How to Make Urmila's Baked Potato And Eggplant Curry

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp ground coriander, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 inch grated ginger.
  3. Remove 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the reserved spice mixture with 1 cup chopped tomatoes.
  4. Trim the top off 1 large eggplant. Slice it lengthwise into two halves and make fairly deep cross-hatch slices into each half.
  5. Rub the remaining spice mixture evenly onto the eggplant halves and 2 large potatoes (about 1 lb total), ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Place the eggplant and potatoes in a greased baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil, add the tomato spice mixture to the dish, and gently stir to combine.
  8. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and eggplant are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy!
