Baingan Masala / Eggplant in a Spicy Gravy
Baingan Masala:
Baingan Masala is a really easy and delicious dish to prepare. It tastes great with the main course or with rotis and paranthas.
In this popular vegetable recipe, the baingans are slit lengthwise and stuffed with spices and then simmered in exotic masala. This is one of my Hubby’s favorite dish and I often make this dish for lunch.

Thanks so much for stopping by website so I could find yours. I am loving your recipes. I especially love eggplant and cannot wait to give this dish a try. Looking forward to following you. Take Care
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I don't like Baingan much... infact i almost avoid it. But yesterday after waking up, I realised that we had only a few baingans in the kitchen. No other veggies...
ReplyDeleteMy friend was already away, and I had to go to office in some time, Since this was the first time, circumstances had forced me to cook baingan, I looked for some recipes on Google and stumbled to your recipe.
Followed your instructions in the recipe and to say the least it was an awesome dish. I had made it for 3 people, but one of my friends found it so delicious that he had it entirely.... In fact he cooked additional rice so that he can eat the entire masla baingan..
And he called me while i was on my way to office, while eating, praising about the food.
And once i returned from office, for not less than 15 minutes, he kept praising the baingan masala and how he had never eaten any thing like this before. Also to make sure that I get this cooked once again, and got baingans from the market on the very day...
Thanks to you Jay, you deserve all the praises for sharing such a simple yet delicious recipe that some one who had never cooked brinjal in his life can cook it correctly
