How to make Stuffed Baigan
- Clean the baigan and slit them lengthways without halving them.
- Roast the first four spices together and then grind them to powder and add the turmeric powder.
- Now mix with the salt, lemon juice and green chilies to make a stuffing.
- Stuff the mixture between baigan (bringal) and tie them back together with cotton thread to prevent stuffing escaping.
- Heat the oil / ghee in a large frying-pan and fry the onions until light brown. Add the brinjal and cover tightly.
- Leave to cook turning occasionally until cooked for about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the stuffed baigan (bringal) hot with roti or paratha.
