Baingan Bhaja

Fried brinjals, translated literally. No, I don't have an obsession with eggplant/aubergine. And no, this dish is NOT from Bengal, contrary to popular belief. Mine comes from Chattisgarh ;)

BB makes an awesome side dish, especially with dal chawal. Slurp! And easy to cook, too!

Get these first:

- 100 gm brinjals
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp mustard oil
- Salt to taste

Let's get frying:

1. First, slice the brinjals lengthwise.
2. Now, rub the salt & turmeric on the insides. Simultaneously, heat the mustard oil in a frying pan.
3. Then, place the brinjals on it, and keep turning from side to side, till they have cooked evenly.
4. Don't forget to make dal chawal before whipping up BB! ;)
