1. Slice the aubergines in half lengthways, score the flesh and scoop out leaving a 1.5cm thick edge.

3. Add the cumin seeds, garlic, tomatoes, tomato purée, pepper and salt and simmer for a few minutes.


4. Spoon the mixture into the aubergine 'shells'.


5. Place the aubergines into an ovenproof dish and carefully pour round the hot water.


6. Cover with foil and bake at 200°C/gas 6 for 40 minutes or until aubergines are tender, topping up the water if it evaporates too quickly.

I make this at home all the time and I just grill the aubergines (as whole). The traditional way to cook them is by frying them but grilling has the same effect but its much lighter and tastier.

I find aubergines get a little tough and watery when you steam them. Roasting aubergines also gives a richer, toasty flavour. Let us know how you get on if you do steam them

can we steam it instead of baking it?Can somebody share the disadvantage or steaming the aubergine compared to baking it?
