Hi eggplant lovers, especially purple eggplants, who here likes purple eggplants? Just like me, I like purple eggplants. There are many things we can cook with purple eggplants, we can fry them in flour, fry them crispy, cook them in curry, and even make them into fresh vegetables. But today I will cook this purple eggplant by making it into a chili sauce, or what is better known as purple eggplant with chili sauce.

Have you ever made eggplant in chili sauce like this? I make it like this very often. This eggplant in chili sauce is very popular in my area. This is also our daily menu at home. It's not a luxurious menu, but this menu can use up a lot of rice, hehehe.

I'm curious about how I make purple eggplant in chili sauce. It's very easy. I think you often make it at home. Maybe some of our methods are the same, and some are different.

OK, just follow the steps that I will share here, you just need to provide eggplant, chilies, onions and tomatoes, really simple ingredients and very easy to get.

Materials used

---

---

---

5 purple eggplants (sliced)
3 small tomatoes
50 grams red chilies
5 shallots
3 cloves garlic
1 shrimp paste
Salt to taste

Manufacturing procedure

---

---

First

---

First, I chopped the tomatoes, chilies, and shallots into small pieces so they would fit in the blender. Then, I blended all the ingredients, including the shrimp paste, until smooth. Then, I sautéed them with a little cooking oil, I also don't forget to add salt to the seasoning

Second

---

I cook the chili sauce until it's cooked, then I add the eggplant, don't add too much water, cook until the eggplant is soft.

RESULTS

---

The eggplant is ready, it's very simple, right? The method is very easy. There are two versions of cooking this chili eggplant. Some people fry the eggplant first and then cook it. Some people cook it directly like I do. If you cook it directly, it takes a while to cook it, but in my opinion, the taste of the sauce is very fresh because the eggplant is not fried first. Basically, there are various versions of cooking this chili eggplant, as I said above.

When it was cooked straight away, I served it with my warm rice, I ate it with a piece of fried fish and the eggplant sambal was delicious, with the aroma and taste of shrimp paste making it even more delicious when enjoyed.

Anyway, don't forget to make your favorite Balado eggplant at home, even though our cooking methods are different, I'm sure this purple eggplant will be delicious no matter how you cook it, but again, for eggplant lovers,
