Aarthi…delicious receipe…i think its time to replace your tawa.. scratched non stick poisons your yummy food
Very delicious… We had a get together and I made this for Lunch. All my friends liked it.
Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
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.
Hi Aarthi, it's me again, Olive from Singapore 🙂 I did this dish yesterday together with the masala fried fish, love it ! Thanks for sharing !

Recipe turned out very nice when tried… Thanks for sharing.
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.
