Trivia Tadka

Ringan nu shaak is a traditional Gujarati brinjal dish served generally during weddings. It tastes best if brinjals are cooked along with thorns. Also, always keep a bowl of water ready to soak the cut brinjal pieces in it immediately as they oxidize and turn black if kept out for too long.

Ingredients

  • Small thorny brinjals (baingan) (6)
  • Tomatoes (2)
  • Oil (2–3 tsps)
  • Dry red chillies (sukhi lal mirch) (3–4)
  • Mustard seeds (sarson) (1/2 tsp)
  • Asafoetida (1/2 tsp)
  • MTR Haldi/Turmeric Powder (1/4 tsp)
  • MTR Lal Mirch/Red Chilli Powder (1/4 tsp)
  • Coriander-cumin powder (dhana-jeera powder) ( ¼ tsp)
  • Jaggery (1 ½ tbsp. )
  • Ginger–garlic paste (1/2 tsp)
  • Coriander leaves (hara dhaniya) (1/2 cup)
  • Salt (to taste)

Method

  • Chop brinjals and immerse them in a bowlful of water as they tend to oxidize in open air.
  • Finely chop the two tomatoes and set aside.
  • Break the jaggery into pieces, so that it dissolves easily into the dish, and keep aside.
  • In a kadhai, heat oil add mustard seeds and let them splutter then add asafoetida and broken red chillies.
  • Lower the heat, add ginger-garlic paste sauté it, add MTR Haldi/Turmeric Powder and MTR Lal Mirch/Red Chilli Powder.
  • Add in finely chopped tomatoes, sauté for 4–6 mins or until oil leaves the sides of the pan.
  • Now add in chopped brinjals along with coriander–cumin powder and salt (as per taste), stir until blended.
  • Add jaggery, make sure the pieces dissolve.
  • Now add water in ratio to the quantity of gravy required, about ¾ to 1cup.
  • Boil the mixture for 10–12 mins and remove in a serving dish.
  • Sprinkle some coriander on top, and the tempting ringan nu shaak can now be served hot.
