Инструкции
- Place aubergine in colander, sprinkle with coarse salt, & leave for 30 min. Rinse thoroughly & dry well with paper towels.
- Soak tamarind pulp in 1/3 c. boiling water, off the heat, for 15 min. Stir & mash with fork to help it dissolve. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Heat 1/4 c. of the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. In batches, cook the aubergine till golden brown on both sides, about 7 min per batch, transferring the cooked aubergine to paper towels to drain. Drain thoroughly, changing the paper towels with each batch.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy flameproof casserole or possibly dutch oven, over medium heat. Add in the onions & cook, stirring, till golden brown, about 10 min. Reduce heat to low. Add in garlic, ginger, coriander, curry pwdr, cayenne, black pepper & cinnamon & stir for 1 minute.
- Add in the remaining water, tamarind liquid, raisins & sugar & salt to taste & simmer over low heat till the mix reduces & thickens, 5-7 min. Add in the garam masala & cook for another minute. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.
- NOTES : This curry with its winning combination of sweet, sour & spicy flavors is one of my absolutely favorite ways to prepare aubergine. Serve it
- as part of a curry meal, or possibly as an accompaniment to grilled poultry or possibly meat.
- It is also excellent at room temperature. When cooking the aubergine, make
- sure you drain it thoroughly of all excess oil. If desired, you can grill
- the aubergine slices instead of frying them.
