1 large Aubergine 1 packet of fresh baby spinach 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/2 cup onion finly chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, grated 1 teaspoon garlic, grated -can use green garlic 1 teaspoon green chillies, finely chopped 1/2 cup tomatoes, finely chopped 1 tsp red chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder 1 tablespoon coriander-cumin seed powder 1/2 teaspoon garam masala 1 tablespoon Olive oil salt to taste

For the garnish

 Handful of fresh chopped coriander

Method:- Grease the brinjal with a little oil, make slits all over the surface and cook over an open flame till it is soft. Cool and peel the skin. Mash the pulp thoroughly and keep aside. (I grind it in grinder, so there isn’t any lump in the puree) Heat the oil and add the cumin seeds. When they crackle add the onions and sauté for a few minutes.  Add the ginger, garlic and green chillies and fry again for a few seconds.  Add the tomato, turmeric powder, coriander-cumin seed powder and cook till the oil separates from the masala. Add the mashed brinjal, garam masala and salt and mix well.   Now add washed spinach and let it cook further 2-3 minutes. Serve hot garnished with the coriander. and enjoyy as much as I do..;0)) I love to have it mine with Bajra Rotla(Millet flour roti)..
