\nThis is a dish made for vegetarians. Although I am not, I often do not eat meat. So here are these eggplants in spicy sauce. There is no single identical recipe for massala and everyone can put in what they want within certain guidelines. I give you here my recipe which is eaten with fresh bread to sauce it all. I saut\u00e9 the eggplants, but you are free to fry them… It will be even better but much richer (too much?). <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nRecipe for baigan massala:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n-4 eggplants<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-oil for saut\u00e9ing eggplant<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nSauce:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-2 onions<\/span><\/b>
\n-500ml of tomato pulp<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n-2 teaspoons of garlic-ginger paste<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-2 teaspoons paprika<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-2 tablespoons of sugar<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-4 cloves<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-1 cinnamon stick <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-2 tablespoons of double tomato paste<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-4 cardamom pods<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-3 teaspoons coriander powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-1 teaspoon cumin powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-6 teaspoons garam massala (more or less)<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-10cl of heavy cream<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-75g of raw cashew nuts mixed with a little water<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-200ml of coconut milk<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-1 large bunch of coriander<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-50g of ghee<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-2 teaspoons of caraway seeds<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWash and chop the eggplants.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nIn a casserole dish, pour a good amount of oil and add half of the eggplants.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nSaut\u00e9 them so that they become colored. To avoid damaging them, I shake the pot and do not use a wooden spoon. Add oil if you find the bottom is too dry and threatens to burn.
\nProblem: the more oil there is, the more they absorb…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe eggplants should start to color without really cooking.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen they are ready, repeat the process with the other half of the eggplants.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nCut the onions into coarse pieces and put them in a blender. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBlend to reduce to very small pieces. Be careful not to puree the onion! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nPour 20g of ghee to heat in the casserole where the eggplants have browned. Add the garlic-ginger paste. Instead of this paste, you can grate 2cm of fresh ginger and crush 3 cloves of garlic. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAdd the onions and cook over moderate heat. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nLet cook for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\nThe onions should start to color and have a nice amber color. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAdd the sweet paprika.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMix well and cook for two minutes. Add the tomato pulp and sugar.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nCardamom pods.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThe double tomato paste, the cloves, the cinnamon stick.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBring to a boil. In a small pan, lightly heat the spices: cumin powder, coriander powder and garam massala. <\/div>\n
\nRegarding the latter, there are all kinds, more or less flavored but especially more or less spicy. So adapt the quantity according to your taste! <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWhen they start to smell good, pour them into the sauce.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the pan, pour 20g of ghee and toast the caraway seeds. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWhich you pour into the sauce with the melted ghee.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nCook for 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Add the coconut milk and cream.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nPut the cashews in a small blender or blender. Add half a glass of water to help grind the nuts. Blend until you get a kind of cream.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nHop in the dish!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nCook until you like the consistency.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen add the eggplants. Then let them cook until they are tender.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nAt the end of cooking, add the chopped coriander. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nServe with naans for dipping! <\/div>\n
