Baigan w/o onions

When the city came to a close over the weekend, all I had were a couple of chintu baigans, two tomatoes, no onions, no ginger, no green chillis, and limited spices. This is what the maid conjured up.

Dice baigans, fry and keep aside.
Cut 1 tomato into small pieces, fry with zeera, haldi powder, salt and sugar. When well done, add fried baigan, and enough besan to cover the whole thing. Sprinkle water on top, stir, cover and let it cook in own steam for 2-3 minutes.

Great with rotis.
