In the early 80’s this dish was served to us by a German lady who had married a Kannadiga man, in Manipal. I loved it, took recipe from her and it used to be a regular item at home.
Ingredients
200 gms macaroni (in the pictures I have used pasta)
Salt to tast
1 large Brinjal or 2 to 3 small ones
1 tsp garam masala powder
2 to 3 tomatoes
2 large onions
½ tsp nutmeg powder
½ tsp pepper powder
2 tbsps milk
1 egg
1 tbsp butter
½ cup grated cheese
½ tsp oregano
Instruction
- Keep 4 glasses of water with salt and ¼ tsp oil to boil and drop the pasta. Let it cook (takes about 12 minutes) and then drain and keep aside.
- While it is being cooked, slice the brinjals into rounds of 1cm thickness. Sprinkle salt and garam masala powder on both sides and keep for about 15 minutes.
- Slice onions and tomatoes into rounds.
- Fry the brinjal slices till brown on both sides. Then lightly fry the onion slices.
- Grease a baking dish and spread half of the cooked macaroni on the bottom.
- Arrange fried brinjal slices on top of it. Arrange sliced tomatoes over it, and then fried onion slices.
- Now put the remaining macaroni on top.
- Beat the egg, add milk and nutmeg and pepper powder, beat again and pour over the macaroni.
- Arrange butter on the top, and finally the grated cheese. Here I have used Amul cheese slice pieces.
- Bake on a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for ½ hour till cheese is melted and a little brown.
- You can also bake for 25 minutes and then grill for 5 minutes.
- Can sprinkle oregano on top. And serve hot with tomato ketchup and salad.
