Tamatar Wangun/ Tomtoes and Eggplant mash


Well i was glancing through one of the non- cooking forums and chanced upon this awesome looking and simple Kashmiri dish. It is pretty simple to make and yet tasty. i have not followed 100% of the recipe and have modified slighly to adhere to my requirements.

What you need?

Eggplant - 1/2 or 5-6 small ones
Tomatoes- 2 big
Fennel powder- 1 tbsp
Deggi Mirch/Kashmiri Mirch/ Cayenne pepper powder- 1/2 tbsp
Olive oil- 2 tbsp
Salt to taste

What next?

1. Spray some pam olive oil onto a baking tray and spread the eggplant. Bake it for 10-13 min on 325 degree in the oven. Alternatively you can even deep fry it..well like i said have made some changes to suit a healthy life.
2. In a pan , pour 2 tbsp of olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes,Chilli/cayenne powder, salt and 1/2 cup of water and cook till they become mushy.
3. Add the fennel powder..cook for 2 min and then the egg plants.
4. Close the lid and cook for another 6-7 min
5. Squish the eggplants if you like it..well it certainly tends to mix well that way.
6. open and cook for another 2 min.

Serve with hot rice or or rotis..
