Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes and eggplant with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated potatoes and eggplant on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the eggplant is golden brown, turning halfway through.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and ground coriander; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a sauce-like consistency.
- Season the tomato-onion sauce with salt to taste.
- Once the potatoes and eggplant are done, layer them in a serving dish and pour the tomato-onion sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
