Its role in this recipe
Aubergine is the base of Sunny’s mixed pickle. The published ingredient list combines 1 kg aubergine with one medium cauliflower, 3 to 4 carrots and 3 to 4 celery stalks.
The preparation sequence
The vegetables are washed, dried and chopped first. At 2:23, the video shows the aubergine partly cooking with vinegar, salt, mint and pepper. At 8:50 it is mixed with the other vegetables and mashed.
What flavours the pickle?
Tamarind, garlic, shallots, green chillies, dried herbs, ground Persian hogweed and coriander seeds appear in the ingredient list. Dried red chilli and nigella seeds are optional. Follow the full recipe for their quantities.
Choosing aubergines and changing quantities
The published description does not specify a particular aubergine variety. Aubergine is measured by weight, so a fixed number of vegetables should not be substituted for 1 kg. Do not change the vinegar and vegetable proportions without a tested recipe.
