Chatpati baingan (brinjal)

Today i was thinking before posting this dish that
what is it actually called ..is it baingal fry, baingal chatni .no no..its not that
Kept thinking and i could not think of an authentic name, hence i gave my own
creative name to this cute dish :)

As the name says it is really a chatpati dish ..Try making this once and you will be in love with it..
Ingredients:
1) Brinjal 1
2) chilli 1
3) one half of a onion finely chopped
4) few cilanto chopped.
5) 1 tomato chopped
7) half a tsp garam masala
8) 1/4 tsp cumin powder
9) ginger garlic paste 1 tsp.
10) cooking oil
11) salt

Preparation:
Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan , add chopped onion and chilli and fry for 2 min..
then add sliced brinjal, salt and keep the gas stove on low and cover the pan with lid.keep stirring occationally.. Brinjals will take some time to get soft..when you see brinjals turning slightly soft add ginger garlic paste and tomato. cover and cook again, stirr in between. when you see brinjal fully cooked add garam masala and cumin podwer. again fry for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat.Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Note: I added 1/4th tsp of black pepper pwder at the end as i wanted it really hot (optional)
