Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on sauteing. Cook the featured ingredient only as long as needed for a pleasing texture, while allowing aromatics and seasonings to coat it evenly. Steady heat helps preserve tenderness and flavour.

One useful cue from the method is to grease the brinjal with a little oil. Roast it on the open heat until soft from outsde. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
