Eggplant Relish

2 tbsp cumin seeds

2 tsp mustard seeds

1 tbsp fenugreek seeds

2 tsp turmeric

1 small onion, chopped

60g ginger, roughly chopped

6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

½ cup vegetable oil

1kg eggplant, cut into 1cm cubes

125ml malt vinegar

⅔ cup sugar

Method:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wrap potatoes in aluminium foil; bake for 1 hour. Remove from foil; cook for another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. Let drain on paper towel.

For Eggplant relish, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add cumin, mustard, and fenugreek seeds; cook for 1-2 minutes. Let cool, add turmeric, and grind with a mortar and pestle. Place chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and ground spices in a food processor; pulse to a rough paste. Heat half the oil over medium heat. Add paste and cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes.

Add eggplant, vinegar, sugar, salt, and chillies. Cook, stirring, for 35-40 minutes, adding remaining oil; cook until eggplant is soft and relish thickens.

Cut a cross in each potato. Top with relish and yoghurt and serve with coriander, extra chillies, and fried onions.
