Recipe
1
Soak 250 grams of kabuli chana (chickpeas) overnight in water. Drain and pressure cook with 750 ml of water for 4-5 whistles or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Slice 500 grams of eggplant into 1 cm thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
3
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
4
In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add 1 finely chopped onion. Sauté until translucent.
5
Add 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. Cook for 2 minutes.
6
Add the cooked kabuli chana, 200 ml of tomato puree, and salt to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
7
For the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
8
Gradually whisk in 250 ml of milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
9
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
10
In a baking dish, layer half of the eggplant slices, followed by the chickpea mixture, and then the remaining eggplant slices. Pour the sauce over the top and sprinkle with 50 grams of grated cheese.
11
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
