Ingredients

• 2 eggplants
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1-inch ginger
• 1 green chili
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggplants:

   • Start by removing the stem from the eggplants and rinsing them thoroughly.
   • Make a lengthwise slit in each eggplant, being careful not to cut all the way through.

2. Prepare the Stuffing:

   • In a pan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of oil until translucent and fragrant.
   • While stirring, add the remaining spices: ginger, green chili, coriander powder, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, chopped cilantro, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and coconut flakes.
   • Mix the tamarind paste with some warm water to create a thick consistency that you can stuff into the eggplants.

3. Stuff the Eggplants:

   • Fill each eggplant through the slit with the prepared stuffing mixture. Press gently to ensure it’s evenly distributed.

4. Cook the Stuffed Eggplants:

   • Heat the remaining oil in a wide skillet over low to medium heat.
   • Arrange the stuffed eggplants in a single layer in the skillet, turning them gently with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
   • Add a little water to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking and to create steam for cooking.
   • Cook the stuffed eggplants until they are tender and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.

5. Serve:

   • Once the stuffed eggplants are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish.
   • Pour any leftover masala from the skillet over the eggplants for extra flavor.
   • Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
