Kalchina Vankaya Tomato Koora | Roasted Eggplant Tomato Curry
Smoked Eggplant in finely sauted tomato gravy
The smoked eggplant is combined with tarty tomatoes with hint of ginger garlic paste.
Here except chillies no other spice mix are used to give spiciness and that makes the curry more tasty. This goes well with hot rice or roti. Sometimes with the leftover curry can goes as stuffing inside my breads. This recipe is more or less similar to Baigan Bhartha - famous gujarati delicacy but with added ingredients.

Method:
- Wash and pat dry eggplant with kitche towel. Apply oil all over the eggplant. Now insert the eggplant in the fork or knife edge. Place on the direct stove top to roast till it smokes and skin turns slight brownish. Rotate eggplant to ensure even cooking. This process makes it to leaves out nice aroma with smoky edges. Check for process to roast in this link Baigan Bhartha.
- Cool the roasted eggplant for a while and peel the skin. Mash well using potato masher or fork.
- Now heat a wok add oil. Season with mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin, split urad dal, broken red chilli, curry leaves, hing and combine.

- Add the chopped tomatoes and salt cook for 5-8 minutes till they are soft. Add the mashed eggplant and cook for further 5minutes. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Dish out. Serve with Rice or Roti.
Note:
The eggplant should be roasted in such a way that it leaves a smoky edges with even cooking.
Applying oil will allow it to cook faster and helps to peel the skin easily.
