Thursday, April 20th, 2006Aubergine in Tomato Sauce is a Turkish dish. Though, I don’t like eggplant, myself, But this is supposed to be a great dish.
Ingredients:

Tomato sauce
7 medium tomatoes-skinned and diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
8 large mild green chilies
6 cloves garlic-chopped fine
4 cups water
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry.
Directions:
Sparingly peel the aubergine. Dice and put into water immediately.
Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pan and deep fry the aubergine. Drain excess oil and keep aside.
For the tomato sauce, take a little oil in a pan. Add tomatoes, green chilies, garlic and salt. Cook for 5 minutes.
Now, add two heaped tbsp of tomato paste. Pour in the water. Cook over a slow fire and reduce to thick gravy.
Pour over the deep fried aubergine. Serve hot with any kind of bread.
