The famous Hyderabadi Baingan dish is called Bagare Baingan. It has ground masala made with dry coconut, peanuts, pepper, cloves, sesame seeds, cinnamon,etc ground and rubbed into cuts in small aubergines and steam cooked. It is really tasty. We cook masala bhindi (ladies fingers in a yogurt and spice mix). Kadhi is a liquidy curry made with yoghurt. So this food looks different.
@veengupta Yes, when using the thin aubergines, I normally split them in four but still leave the top attached.. I used the really big aubergine here.. These dishes tho are far from authentic, being tailored to British homes and the fact people haven't much time to cook nowadays... The kadhi was made with yoghut and gram floor, but it sort of dried out a bit as I left it a while before cooking the aubergne :-)
@maggiemae I'm surprised okra - also called ladies fingers - isn't available in NZ given the closeness to Asian... But yeah, the aubergine was cooked with the tamarind.. Only the aubergine was spicy, the okra had only turmeric, a little garlic/ginger and mustard seeds so was mellow..
