Tips :
I usually keep proportion of eggplant and potato 50-50. But itcan be changed according to your choice. You may reduce the quantity ofbrinjal or potato. Many times I add less brinjal than potato.
I have not removed the potato skins. You may remove the potato skins ifyou wish with a peeler.
If you have boiled potatoes ready, you may use them and the cooking time will be reducedfurther.
Along with or instead of garam masala, you may add cumin powder (Jeera powder) and coriander powder(dhania powder).
Add more water if you like. If you areusing boiled potatoes, add cut eggplants in the pan first. When they arecooked, add boiled and cutpotatoes and all the other spices etc.
