No Onion Garlic Aloo Baingan

Aloo Baingan
Its been ages I cooked Roti Sabji in my kitchen. Its either no fuss pastas or one pot meals. Well, today I made an easy Aloo Baingan Masala to go with soft phulkas. A simple and homey no onion garlic meal with very few ingredients.

Ingredients:
Potatoes - 2 big
Brinjal/Eggplant/Baingan - 6 small
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Cilantro/Coriander/Dhania Leaves - few sprigs
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Red Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt

How to cook No Onion Garlic Aloo Baingan:
  • Peel the potatoes and dice it into bite size cubes. Place them in a bowl of water.
  • Next, discard the stems of the eggplants and chop them into bite size pieces. Add the eggplants too in another bowl of water.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add the potatoes and sauté for about a minute. Next, add eggplants and saute for about 2 minutes.
  • Now add 2 cups of water and cook it covered until both veggies are cooked.
  • Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes into bite size pieces. If you are not a fan of tomatoes, you can skip the tomatoes. Finely chop cilantro leaves. 
  • Lastly, add all the seasonings - turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, salt and tomatoes, cilantro. Instead of garam masala, you can use any other seasoning like Sambar Masala, Curry Powder and so on.
  • Cook it covered until tomatoes are cooked. Taste for seasonings and add more water if required.
Serve Aloo Baingan Masala with phulka roti or rice.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
