Ingredients
-
2 large eggplants (about 3 pounds total)
-
¼ cup avocado oil
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
3 large cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
-
1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
-
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground coriander
-
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
-
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
½ teaspoon garam masala
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
Prick eggplants all over with a fork. Place on the prepared pan and roast, turning once or twice, until soft, 55 to 65 minutes. Cut open and let cool. Scrape the flesh onto a cutting board and chop. Discard the skin.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and jalapeño; cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, salt, coriander, turmeric and crushed red pepper; then add tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped eggplant, cilantro, lemon juice and garam masala. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes more.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
