Recipe - Atta wale Baingan (Vankaya vepudu/Brinjal fry)
Eggplant dry curry
Summary:
Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetable. Eggplant helps control cholesterol. It is high in potassium and good source of folic acid.
Eggplant is consumed more in China and in India. Eggplants are grown in different sizes and colors.
My whole family loves eggplant and the dishes made out of it. We can live on eggplant for a week :-) My daughter Shreya loves this sabzi without potato, can eat it every other day.
