Description

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite keto dips this is made of eggplant! It has a chunky texture, it has layers of flavor- spicy, tangy and delicious! You can have it with keto chips, keto tortillas and with lettuce cups.

(Net carbs per serving: 5.3g)

Ingredients
  • 150 grams Eggplant
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Mustard seeds
  • 5-6 Curry leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Peanuts
  • 1 Tomato (small)
  • 2 tablespoons Onion
  • 3 tablespoons Oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
  • Coriander leaves/stems (handful)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Lime juice (to taste)
Instructions

  1. Cut the eggplant into little cubes. Dip them in water immediately to prevent browning due to oxidation.

  2. Set a pan on medium heat and add oil. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves (chopped up) and garlic (finely chopped).

  3. Stir fry this for about 30 seconds (you don't have to brown the garlic)

  4. Drain the water from the eggplant and add the pieces in.

  5. Also add chopped tomato along with some salt to taste and give it a quick stir

  6. Place the lid on and let the eggplant and the tomatoes get mushy (cover it for approximately 5 minutes). If the eggplant isn't mushy yet, stir fry and cover for 2 more min

  7. Mash up all the eggplant pieces and the tomato pieces (using your spatula or a masher) to create a pasty and chunky texture

  8. Stir fry the mashed up eggplant in that oil for approximately five minutes

  9. Add red chili powder and a handful of coriander stems (stems have more crunch and taste than coriander leaves)

  10. Add a tablespoon of peanuts to a grinder jar and grind to a fine powder

    The powder may look like clumpy due to the peanut oil that's released but that's fine don't worry

  11. Add in the peanut powder. 

    The peanut powder blends in with the oil and the eggplant and gives it that smoothness that dips have

  12. Stir fry this for two minutes so the peanuts don't taste raw

  13. Squeeze a good amount of lime juice

  14. One highly recommended but optional step is to add two tablespoons of chopped onion and add this after you turn off the heat so that that crunch in the onion remains

  15. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves
