This is a very easy recipe where you roast the brinjal with powdered lentils and spices.
Brinjal is also called as EggPlant and Aubergine.

I was not a fan of brinjal during childhood.In fact, I never liked eating most of the veggies :).I always loved to have fish and other sea foods.But mom somehow used to make us eat some veggies :).But you know how we can make all drama with mom :)..

I Loved brinjal when I ate stuffed brinjal for the first time, which is called 'Ennegayi' in Kannada made by mother in law. I really love that dish with rotis.
My mother in law is a great cook.Lot to learn from her. I will be posting 'Ennegayi' Recipe soon.
That's how my trials on brinjal started :). This recipe needs very common ingredients and very easy and quick to make. This is one more yummy brinjal recipe.
I am sure you will love it too..

6.When Mustard seeds crackle add onion and saute till it becomes slight brown.
