Ingredients non vegetarian 4 servings

• 1 large  Eggplant (cut into 1" cubes)

• 1½ tsp black mustard seeds, powdered in a coffee grinder
• 1/4 tsp Green Chili
  
• 4-5 tsp mustard oil
• 1 tsp  panch phutan mix (equal parts of whole cumin, fennel, fenugreek, mustard, kalunji seeds)
• 1 cup Yogurt
• 1 1/2 tsp Salt
• pinch of black pepper, cardamon powder  (optional)
  

Directions

1. Soak ground mustard seed and green chili in one cup of water.  Cut up eggplant into cubes.
2. Heat mustard oil, put in panch pharon mix and after a few seconds add the black mustard/cayenne water.  This will splatter so have a cover ready. 
   
3. Add eggplant and cook.  You will probably need to add additional water as the eggplant cooks to keep its level about the same, perhaps another cup. 
   
4. Cover it for the last ten minutes.
5. When the eggplant is cooked add a cup of yogurt and the salt, mix  and heat up yogurt, but do not boil.
6. Sprinkle a tiny bit of black pepper and cardamon over the top if you want.

I love Eggplants n thaks for giving a different recipe

Black mustard is usually a little more pungent than yellow. However, you can definitely substitute one for the other.

I feel you can do a better job if you add yellow sarson(mustard seed) instead of black. It will look good as well as taste better.
