Oil free masala baigan

One of the acts that eating healthy involves is reducing your intake of oil. But practically all the dishes that we eat are cooked in oil. Here's one of my stried and tested recipe of making tasty masala baigan without adding even a drop of oil!

Ingredients

Small baigan (brinjals) cut into quarters or 2 big ones cut into small cubes

1.5 tsp imli paste mixed in 1/2 cup water

Dry masala:
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp haldi powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp jeera powder
1 tsp amchoor powder
1 tsp salt


Method:

In a bowl place the baigan cubes and add all the dry masala. Mix it well so that all the baigan pieces get evenly coated with the masala mixture.

In a kadhai, add 1/2 cup water and the masala coated baigan. Cook covered for 15 min while stirring from time to time to avoid the vegetable getting burnt.

Stir in the imli-water paste and cook for 2 min more.

Masala baigan is now yours to eat!!
