Easy brinjal sabzi recipe

Easy brinjal sabzi for phulka, roti, flat breads, pulao too. Step by step pictures recipe.

I can never get enough of brinjal dishes. Can happily make it everyday. The only veg I myself eat without any compulsion. Vj showed me a brinjal dish in you tube. Was such a drool worthy recipe for a brinjal lover like me. Bought aubergine for this sake and made bharta last week😁. So again ordered the same. Some how kept forgetting or lazy to make as it’s not universal dish.

Means I have to make another for boys. Today finally made and it was too good. Was so excited that wanted to share it immediately here. I have not made sabzi by shallow frying or deep frying the veggies. But this was too tempting to give it a try. Had it with peas pulao and was yummy. Vj too had it. I was feeling like having as such. Should be perfect to go with phulka, roti or other flatbreads.

Notes

• Shallow frying gives great flavour to the brinjal. You can also use less oil and try.
• The sabzi doesnt take oil, so use less for frying onion and others. I added more and was too oily I felt.
