ReplyDeleteThis sounds like Baingan ka bharta....n since u are smoking it on the stove..isnt it 1 big baingan u use instead of multiple small ones??the snap looks gd tho..
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteLooks great.
I tried the recipe but instead of mashing the eggplant I cut it into cubes and followed the recipe except that I stir fried it like a normal kadai dish.
Thanks for the ideas! :)
