What is a good substitute for Baby Eggplant?If you cannot find the small baby eggplant, you can also use the Japanese purple eggplant.

Pro Tips
Baby eggplants are readily available at Indian grocery stores. Make sure to pick firm eggplants that have green and fresh stems. Also, try to pick eggplants that are of similar sizes. Baby eggplants I use are about 2 inches long and 1.5 inches thick excluding the stem. If your eggplants are bigger you may want to change the Manual setting to 5 mins. It is better to set it for a lesser time to avoid overcooking. If the eggplant seems undercooked, simply cook them on saute mode for 3 to 4 minutes with a glass lid on or keep the Instant Pot closed. The eggplant will continue to cook with remnant heat.
Can I double this recipe?You can easily double this recipe. The pressure cooking time will still be the same. It will just take a longer time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure Love Indian curries? Check out my collection of 40 Instant Pot Curries
