baigan kadhi

Hi all,
Kadhi is a very famous food in Gujarati thali. Often served with khichadi or pulav rice or plain rice too.
This is one of my favorite made by my mother in law. Its my hubby's favorite too...Baigan kadhi.
Very simple, very easy and yet delightful. Hope you all enjoy.
Traditionally kadhi is made from gram flour and yogurt with tadka of ghee but this has a twist.

Ingredients:
1 cup yogurt blended with 3-4 cups of water
2 -3 tablespoon gram flour
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
1 1/2 cup finely chopped eggplant ( Chinese eggplant works just fine )
salt to taste

For tadka :
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 pinch asafoitida powder

Method:
Mix gram flour with yogurt and water with finely chopped garlic, ginger garlic paste and salt to taste. keep it aside.
In a wok heat 1 tablespoon oil when hot put mustard seeds, let it crackle and add asafoitida. Now add finely chopped eggplant. Let it cook. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric and salt to taste. When cooked well add gram flour yogurt mixture. let it boil until cooked throughly.
Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with hot rice.
Enjoy.
