Preheat the air fryer for 4 minutes.
Toss diced aubergine with oil and turmeric, then place it on a baking tray.
Transfer the baking tray inside the air fryer basket and roast the aubergine in the air fryer for 12-13 minutes until soft and tender with crispy edges.
If using an oven, preheat it to 190 C. Roast the diced aubergine for 25-30 minutes or until you have soft and tender flesh with crispy edges.
In a pan, heat oil and add onion, green chilli, ginger, and garlic. Fry until onions are soft and translucent (about 5-6 minutes).
Add tomato puree, spices, salt, and water to the pan. Stir, cover, and cook the masala for 4 minutes.
Add the roasted aubergine and water to the masala. Stir. Cover and cook for another 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Squeeze lemon juice over the dish and garnish with fresh coriander.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Brinjal Bhaji!
