Aloo baigan sabji- A North Indian style dry curry of potatoes and aubergine
Aloo baigan sabji- This North Indian style Aloo baigan is a simple and delicious dry dish ,Potatoes are very well paired with soft and melt in mouth brinjals and tomato and make’s it a great combo, the main flavor of this dish comes from the flavor of its tempering.
The tadka of mustard seeds, fenugreek and fennel seeds gives a very nice flavor and taste to this simple curry. I have used mustard oil but you can substitute it with any cooking oil of your choice. I have not added fresh peas in it but you can add some fresh peas or choliya/ fresh chick pea in this aloo baingan sabji .

I have been reading quite a few of your recipes and a ready to try several of them. I am not terribly experienced with Indian cuisine nor with the (new) pressure cooker but since still in modified lockdown and have been given a large eggplant (aubergine) and and lots of potatoes. I currently lack the fresh coriander and the mustard seeds. How much should I increase the dried coriander (if at all) and any suggestion for a replacement for the dried mustard seeds? Also, I note that this is the first recipe I have seen that does not call for Kashmiri Chili powder (which I do not have) and Just wanted to be sure this was not inadvertently omitted since I know when using Non Kashmiri chili powder, less is called for

Hi Steve
Most of the times kashmiri chili powder is added to enhance the bright red colour of the curries , not much for the flavour or aroma
No need to increase the quantity of dried coriander, add cumin instead of mustard seeds,i have added fresh coriander for garnish and for fresh aroma, you can easily skip it if not available

Very tasty, simple preparation. I have repeated the subzi many times. This tempering combination is the highlight of this and takes it to another level
