Step:
Firstly properly wash baby eggplants and slit them vertically in 4 parts keeping the stem part intact. Make sure you don't cut them out totally in 4 different parts. Soak them in water.
Meanwhile, take roughly chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, garlic, ginger, roasted peanuts, grated dry coconut and poppy seeds in a mixer grinder jar and make smooth paste without adding water.
In a pressure cooker heat up the oil on medium flame. Add mustard seeds and let it crackle. Add the prepared paste, mix well and cook for a minute. Add spices like turmeric powder, red chilli powder, dhania jeera powder and salt. Mix well and cook until oil separates.
Add chopped coriander leaves and slit baby eggplants. Mix well. Add garam masala, water and again mix well. Cover with the lid and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Switch off the flame and let the pressure cooker cool down.
Remove in a serving plate, garnish with chopped green coriander leaves and serve hot with roti and rice. Enjoy.
