Скачать или смотреть Andi's signature, Beef stew with eggplants Persian style

Welcome to my channel!
Today I am sharing my own recipe Beef Stew with eggplant.
This dish is my daughter's favorite we call it Andi leves.

Ingredients:
Beef Sirloin 2 pounds cubed
1 large or two medium onion chopped
1 lb 7 oz about 65 dkg tomatoes cubed
2 medium eggplant peeled and sliced
1 lb 5 oz (about 58 dkg) 6 small potatoes peeled and cubed
1 egg white for brushing eggplant before frying
2-3 Tbsp olive oil for the stew
and about 1/4 cup canola,corn, or vegetable oil for frying the eggplants
4 tsp packed tomato paste
Black pepper,
salt and 1 Tbsp Advieh see recipe below (NASZ, JAZ, use Mamabozorg spice mix)

Advieh Persian gulf spice mix:
2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp ground cardamom
2 tsp ground caraway
1 Tbsp ground turmeric
1 Tbsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Mix them well and store in an airtight container to preserve their aroma.

I sprinkle the sliced eggplants with salt and let them rest,
this way all of the water will come out, the salt remove any bitterness from eggplants, and they will soak up less oil while frying them.

The cooking took me about 1 1/2 hours, I used the meat tenderizer and the meat I bought was high quality so I finished the cooking earlier than I expected. Which means I had to use only 5 cups of water, but depending on the meat quality sometimes I use more to get the meat soft enough.
The key is alway add just a little water as much as you need, to get the meat soft.
