🇮🇳 Indian

Smoky fried eggplant folded into yogurt, the Punjabi baingan raita. Cool, spiced and always welcome next to something fiery. Spoon generously; it disappears fastest of anything on the table.

Prep 10 min Cook 2 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

Yogurt2 cups, whisked
Saltto taste
Green Chili2
Eggplant2 medium (300 g), cubed
Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Whisk the yogurt till smooth and pourable; thick curds want a spoon of milk or water.
2
Prep the eggplant — grate, chop or boil as the dish demands — and let it cool if cooked.
3
Mix the eggplant in gently — raita should look marbled, not beaten.
4
Rest ten minutes in the fridge so the flavours get acquainted.
5
Serve cold, dusted with the reserved cumin, chili powder and coriander.

Chef's tip

Never add hot ingredients to yogurt — it splits and weeps.
