Do Pyaza or Piyaza Baingan Matar - Aubergine and Green Peas in Onion and spicy tomato sauce ! #curry #indiancurry #aubergine #tasty #wintermeal

It is not a secret that I have a crush on 'Aubergines' and I have made many many different recipes like Baingan Bhartha with Spring Onion, Baingan Bhartha with Spinach, Baingan Methi, Baingan Aloo, Sukhi Baingan Sabji, Dum Aloo with Oats Bharwan Baingan , Thai Aubergine stuffed with Green Chutney, Baingan Bhartha Hummus and Gujarati Style stuffed baingan. and many more waiting to appear on this space.

Not only me, but my dad, sunny boy and husband we all have a crush on aubergines, and 'crushed' thousands of aubergines already :P.  While our daughter is away from us, we indulge in Aubergine ! or I would say if you're in doubt cook aubergine :)

Aubergine and Green Peas in Spicy Onion and tomato sauce, yet another curry recipe wherein amount of Onion used is relatively larger compared with the other main ingredients. This recipe is creation of mine, and for my sunny boy this is ultimate, he starts tucking in straight away if by chance I call him for dinner before start making chapattis,

So easy to put it together, fit for a everyday meal.  A lot of fresh tomatoes, jumbled with double portions of onion, garlic and everyday aromatic spices. Little tangy and mildly sweet tomato sauce lends this curry a unique flavour which compliments to the bland taste of aubergine and green peas. The kasoori methi brings subtle but noticeable flavours.  Once Onion and tomato sauce is done, this delectable and scrumptious sabji can be done in jiffy. Whatever the occasion , pair this alluring curry with roti or paratha and crispy salad for delightful meal.
