Ingredients

Vinegar
2 Table Spoon
Sunflower oil
200 Milliliter
Short purple brinjal
250 Grams
Garlic small clove
10 Grams
Cumin seeds
1 Tea Spoon
Fenugreek seeds
0.5 Tea Spoon
Pepper, black
1 Tea Spoon
Turmeric powder
0.5 Tea Spoon
Mustard seeds
1 Tea Spoon
Jaggery cane
3 Table Spoon
Salt
2 Table Spoon

Instructions

1
Preparation
Cut the eggplant into slices and sprinkle over the salt. Leave to sit for around 3-5min until liquid droplets form on top. Meanwhile, lightly toast the mustard and cumin seeds then grind them along with the fenugreek seeds, pepper, and chili.
2
Cooking
Wipe the salt off the eggplant slices and pat dry. Cut the slices into medium-small dice. Warm the oil in a skillet/frying pan. Add the brinjals. Cook, stirring now and then until soft, around 10minutes, adding the crushed garlic after around 5min, add the turmeric, stir so it coats everything and cook for another minute. Add the spice mix, vinegar, and sugar and mix well so the sugar dissolves. Cook another couple of minutes, until the liquid has basically disappeared. Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving or storing in a jar in the fridge.
3
Serving
Once the brinjal pickle is ready, serve it. Store this pickle in a cool and dry place.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 49, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (0.1g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

PCOS

Women with PCOS should pair this with fiber-rich vegetables and a protein source to improve the insulin response.
