Bharwan Baingan (South Indian Style)

I like Baingan Bharta a lot… but realised that this the only thing that we use to do with Brinjal, so I started trying out different recipes using it… and this one came out to be real good along with Tawa Baingan, which i will definitely post in some time but as of now Stuffed Brinjals are here…

    • Stuff this mixture in Brinjals and cook with little oil in a non – stick pan, turning in between so that it is properly cooked on all sides.
    • Serve hot with Chapattis & Naans….
