1 tsp sugar
5g
1 dash salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggplant:
- Wash the eggplant thoroughly and pat dry.
- Cut the eggplant into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Prepare the Shallots, Garlic, and Red Chili Peppers:
- Peel the shallots and slice them thinly.
- Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
- Wash the red hot chili peppers, remove the stems, and chop them finely. You can adjust the quantity of chili peppers based on your heat preference.
3. Cook the Eggplant:
- Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add a bit of oil to the skillet (vegetable or olive oil will work well).
- Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant pieces to the skillet.
- Cook the eggplant on medium heat until it becomes tender and starts to brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
4. Add the Shallots, Garlic, and Chili Peppers:
- Once the eggplant is tender and slightly browned, add the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and chopped red chili peppers to the skillet.
- Stir well to combine, and continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
5. Season the Mixture:
- Sprinkle the chili powder over the eggplant mixture.
- Add the vinegar, sugar, and a dash of salt, stirring well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Let It Cool:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit.
7. Store the Pickle:
- Transfer the hot eggplant pickle to a clean, sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Allow it to cool completely before sealing the jar.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Your hot eggplant pickle is now ready to be enjoyed!
- Serve it as a side dish with your favorite meals, or use it as a spicy condiment to add a burst of flavor.
9. Storage:
- Store the jar of hot eggplant pickle in the refrigerator.
- It should keep well for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

- Choose a firm and fresh eggplant for the best texture and flavor in your pickle.

- Adjust the amount of chili powder and red hot chili peppers according to your spice tolerance.

- Ensure all vegetables are chopped uniformly to ensure even cooking.

- Store the pickle in a sterilized jar for longer shelf life, and refrigerate after opening.

- Allow the pickle to sit for a couple of days before consumption to let the flavors meld and intensify.
