Aubergine cooked in this way uses very little oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to substitute the oil with water you can do, but the oil does contribute in releasing the flavour using the braising method of cooking, as the aubergine is lightly charred in the pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for tender aubergine with soft flesh. They will cook faster, will be creamier and easier to mash.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mashed-aubergine-eggplant-with-potato-03.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mashed-aubergine-eggplant-with-potato-03.jpg\" height=\"400\" width=\"600\" class=\"wp-image-11605 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Mauritian-style Mashed Aubergine \/ Eggplant with Potato\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Mashed aubergine with potato is often served as a side dish along with a few other condiments.
