Ingredients:
1 1/4 pound Japanese or Chinese eggplants, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground fenugreek seeds
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
2 fresh green chili peppers, such as serrano, minced with seeds
1 tablespoon dried curry leaves
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
1/2 teaspoon mango powder
Place the eggplants in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook on high about 4 minutes. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the cumin, mustard and fenugreek seeds, garlic, and green chili peppers; they should sizzle upon con-tact with the hot oil.
Quickly add the curry leaves, coriander, mint, and turmeric, stir about 30 seconds, then add the egg- plant and salt and cook about 2 minutes. Add the cilantro, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring as needed, until the eggplant is soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the mango powder and serve.
