Chauli or Long Beans with Eggplant.....a combination, that sounds unusual to many, but is a popular way of preparing it the traditional Gujarati way. This curry goes well with some phulkas ,some kadhi and aamraas....just something about those items served together, reminds me of my grandmother's home, I guess I try and recreate some of my cherished memories for my own children!
Here is the very recipe and a healthy one at that. You will need:
- 1-2 bunches of fresh Long Beans (chauli,chawli), or known as Dow Gok In Asian Stores-chopped
- 1 medium Eggplant- chopped
- 1 tsp- Ajwain Seeds, 1/4 tsp- Asafoetida
- 2 cloves of Garlic- chopped
- 1 tbsp- Corn Oil or any oil you prefer
- Turmeric, Chili powder, Salt, Sugar - to taste
- 1-2 tbsp of Water
Cook for few minutes more until no liquid is left. Serve hot with Phulkas, Kadhi and Aamraas....this combination never gets old!

The sabzi looks very moist and sure must be tasty. I love how green your blog is looking right now
Very unique combo Trupti, the dish looks very delicious. but sad my daughter does not eat anything if i add eggplant. Looks very good with your theme.
I've always liked the chauli shaak that our Gujrati neighbour in Pune used to make. Now I have the recipe! Perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
Such a nice simple sabzi. Like you said have with kadhi phulka/rotla. Perfect for dinner.
With Amras Wow! Then I don't require anything only Amras is sufficient heee..hee :)Thats what generally happens in summers. I literally survive on mangoes .
Trupti I made your Sukhadi for Coffee's MBP event. Check it out :)
I make chauli bataka the same way!!!! Enough to say I dont like ringana right ;) :P
Sounds interesting, I like the ingredients but I dunno what Ajwain Seeds are or if I can find them here in CA.
Curious, I made a yummy citrusy revani cupcake and loved it. Any other good Indian cake/dessert recipes you plan to show us, cause I know I'm interested to see!

Chauli, hmmmm I have to make a note of this name. We have this exact long bean and we call it bora. I love this vegetable. My favourite way is to have it cooked with thinly sliced potatoes and shrimp.
This is the first time I've seen it cooked with eggplant - interesting combo.
Hi Trupti,
I made this dish last evening, and boy was it good. Both K and I licked our plates clean ... LOL Thanks for this gr8 recipe :)
Long beans and eggplant omg... can't go wrong with that combo!! Sounds and looks delicious!!
Great combo I never try this combo. Thanks for sharing. Bye-4-noW.:)
A very different combination of vegetable Trupti. Long beans and brinjal.... I have cooked it seperately but have never imagined them together.They sure sound interesting ..
I love Gujarati food and love your blog. I made this sabzi, added potatoes to it too. Came out excellent. Thank you for the Gujarati recipes.
Cool combination. I'm sure it will taste good with kadhi.
