Ringan Batata Nu Shaak/Brinjal Potato Curry

 

Ringan Batata Nu Shaak is a curry made with eggplant/aubergine/brinjal and potato. It is flavored with groundnut/peanut powder, desiccated coconut, and spices such as red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, garam masala and turmeric powder. The added sugar gives sweetness to the dish and balances the flavor of eggplant. It is a regular dish prepared in Gujarati household and served with roti, bhakri, thepla, puri, rice and dal, khichdi and kadhi.

Always use fresh brinjal or eggplant for the recipe.

I have shared with you the pressure cooker method but you can also cook directly in the pan. Cover the pan with a lid after adding brinjal and potato and cook on medium heat, stirring in between till brinjal and potato are cooked. After that add the prepared masala with groundnut and coconut. Add little water if required and adjust the consistency of the curry. Cook till the masala is absorbed for 4-5 minutes.

Cook for 2 whistles on high heat and 1 on low heat when made in a pressure cooker. My husband likes the brinjal to be soft and mushy. So  I have cooked for 4-5 whistles.

You can cook the dish without adding peanuts and coconut. The other ingredients remain the same.
