Baigan aloo tamatar ki sabji is not only tasty but also a healthy recipe. Baigan (brinjal) that is also known as eggplant, contains very healthy nutrition profile. It is very low in calories and fats but rich in soluble fiber content. The peel or skin of brinjal has significant amounts of phenolic flavonoid phytochemicals called anthocyanin which have potential health effects against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neurological diseases. On the other hand potatoes are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content and as you know tomatoes also have a wealth of vitamin and mineral content.

To prepare baigan aloo tamatar, we need diced baigan, aloo, tamatar and some basic Indian spices. The secret for this spicy and tangy baingan tamatar sabzi is tomato. But you can cook only aloo baigan and skip tomatoes. There are so many variations of brinjal in the market like small brinjal, long tube shaped brinjal and oval shaped brinjal. You may use any type of brinjals for this recipe. I have already shared the recipe of bharwan baigan, mooli baigan aloo ki sabji but this aloo baigan ki sabji is one of the most delicious dry vegetables.
