Instructions

Wash the egg plants, wipe them well.
Remove the stems and slit them to make quarters.
In a pan dry roast the khus khus and cashews till they become warm without burning.
Add chopped onions to them and grind to paste.
In a broad bowl add curd, grounded paste, red chilli powder, coriander seed powder, turmeric powder fennel powder and salt.Mix well.
Marinate the egg plants in them well. Keep them aside for 15 minutes.
Heat a heavy bottomed pan with oil.
Do the seasoning with mustard, cumin and curry leaves.
Add the marinated eggplants and stir for few seconds.
Keep the flame medium nd close with a lid.
Initially the stuff gives out water and the moisture enables the egg plants to get cooked well.

Now the yummy, spicy, mouth watering eggplants simmered in yogurt and spices are ready to serve.
