Eggplant Mash

Eggplant mash is one of my favorite dishes. Back home I could roast it over an open flame, but that is not an option here — so here is how to make it in the microwave.

Eggplant Mash

Ingredients

  • Large round eggplant (1)
  • Dried chilies (2–3)
  • Onion (1)
  • Mustard oil (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Cilantro (to taste)

Method

  1. First, remove the stem from the eggplant, wash it, and score it a few times with a knife. Rub with a little mustard oil and microwave for 12–15 minutes. When the eggplant is soft, take it out. If water has collected at the bottom of the dish, discard it. Mash while still hot.
  2. Add diced onion, chopped cilantro, fried dried chilies, salt, and mustard oil, and mash until well combined. Serve hot with rice or khichuri.
