We bengalis call this sag , punkar sag. We put panchphoron in mustard oil, add diced brinjal , chopped punkar sag, salt and then cover it and cook on low flame. The water from the cooked sag is dried after removing the cover. At this time, posto / poppy seed grains are added to the sag, mixed well and after the excessive water evaporates, the sag is ready to be consumed. You can fry dal baris, crush them a little and spread over the sag. This adds taste and aroma to the sag.
