How it comes together in your kitchen

Start by cutting the eggplant into thin strips while keeping it intact. This helps it hold its shape while cooking.

Boil it in salted water until soft. This step ensures the eggplant cooks evenly and doesn’t remain raw inside.

While that cools, whisk eggs with a little salt and pepper.

Now heat the oil in a pan. Add onions and green chillies. Let them soften slowly.

Add ginger garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Now add all your spices and mix on low heat. Add a splash of water so the masala doesn’t burn and cooks evenly.

Place the cooked eggplant gently in the center. Spread it slightly so it forms a base. Let it sit and absorb all the masala flavors.

Now, pour the whisked eggs around and over the eggplant. Cover and cook slowly.

As it cooks, the egg sets and holds everything together while the bottom becomes slightly crisp.

You end up with a thick omelette with layers of spiced eggplant inside.

Pro Tip💡: Do not rush cooking after adding eggs. Keep the flame low so the eggs set evenly without burning the bottom.
