Brinjal also known as Aubergine or Eggplant is not in my favourite veggie list. But when I had this for the first time when my Mom made it, I immediately fell in love with it. This recipe is so simple to make and tastes great. And can be served as a side dish for roti or rice.
Ingredients:
- ½ tsp Mustard seeds
- ¼ tsp Cumin seeds
