      Great dish, very yummy. It's a pity that I was so hungry after work and wanted to do it fast. I should have fried the brinjals for longer, so they would be all brown-gold, like yours. I'll bet it would be even better then.

      Nice recipe. I modified the recipe a little bit by adding saunf with cumin seeds instead of mustards and put cut garlic pieces instead of ginger garlic paste and it was delicious with rice and chapathis. Thank you.

      This was delicious. I didn’t have garlic and ginger paste so used fresh garlic and ginger finely chopped. I also made this separately with just king prawns that I peeled and deveined. It was also great! Thank you
