Potato & Eggplant Dish

This is a totally vegetarian recipe, when you get bored of all the mutton, beef and chicken, this is your heaven :)

Servings: 3

Ingredients:
2 1/3 tbsp Cooking Oil
1 Onion (small-medium size) cut into slices
1/2 tbsp Ginger & Garlic Paste
1/2 tbsp Coriander Powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
3 Tomato (big size) cut into cubes
2 Potato (medium size) cut into 2-3 cm cubes
4 Eggplants (medium size) cut into 4-5 cm cubes
3/4 tbsp Salt

Method:
Start by heating the oil in a cooker, after that add the slices of onion, let it fry till the color becomes brown, add the ginger/garlic paste, coriander powder and turmeric powder, after a while add the tomato cubes, cook it for while, using a spoon, smash the cubes of tomato into the bottom and side of the cooker (just to take out the juice from the tomato faster).

After that add the potato, cook it for about 10-12 min, add 1/4 tbsp spoon salt, and keep stirring. Add the eggplant, and then add another 1/4 tbsp salt. stir slowly (the texture of eggplant is lighter compared to potato), cook for a while and then add the 1/4 tbsp salt, taste it after a while, you might want to add more salt. you will be cooking for another 12 min after you add the eggplant. After that, there is your dish :)

while serving, you might want to add some coriander leaves on top of your dish.

Note: Great and simple dish, i really love the texture and taste of eggplant.. umm, delicious :)
i have some pictures, will be adding it later when i have access to my camera, I am writing this from my workplace (its break time in here).
