Soak the chopped brinjal pieces in water to prevent oxidation. In a blender, grind dhaniya seeds, mustard seeds and fresh garlic with a little water into a thick paste.
In a kadai going on medium flame, put 3 Tbsp oil. Add 1 methi seeds and green chilies. When methi seeds turn slightly brown add the ground masala paste and turmeric powder.
Stir the masala constantly to prevent it sticking to the base. When the masala cooks and reduces in quantity (oil starts separating from the sides)
Add quarter cup water and cook again. Repeat this process 6 times. At the end of this, you should have used about 11/2 cups of water and may have taken about 20 minutes (This step plays a big role in how the dish turns out)
Now add chopped brinjal little by little and fry allowing the masala to coat over them. Follow with potato the same way. Add 1 Tbsp of oil and salt. (American brinjals shrink a lot while cooking. It may be a good idea to add salt on the conservative side)
Cook covered till potatoes are soft, stirring at regular intervals.
Serve with plain Parathas and sliced onions.
