Aubergine / Eggplant / Brinjal Sabzi (Baingain Ka Bharta )

Baingan Bharta is an easy and common recipe amongst North Indian food.I made few changes to it ( like adding peanuts :) ) and it came out pretty good.Instead of roasting the eggplant , I've boiled it and added to the gravy it tastes different than the roasted eggplant bharta but still good.
In a pan add 1 tbsp of oil , once warm add cumin seeds, ginger , garlic and peanuts , saute it for 2 minutes.
