A vibrant South Indian sambar with vegetables in a stainless saucepan, ideal for culinary themes.

Method

  1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
  2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the eggplant, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the yellow onion along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a spoonful of yogurt right before serving.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
