Step by Step Instructions

Step 2

In a pan, heat 1tbsp of the vegetable oil, then whilst on medium heat, add the sliced onion and cook for around 5 minutes into slightly golden, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Next, add the remaining vegetable oil followed by the aubergine pieces, add the asafoetida, chili flakes and turmeric. Mix everything well and cook for 5 minutes until the aubergine is soft and cooked.
