    You know i love cooking with brinjals since mum is crazy about it. I love experimenting with it. Oneday when i browsing for brinjal recipes in google. I came across this one and instantly fell in love with it. Immediately i tried it and it was yum. Mum loved it too.

    I used green long variety of brinjal but you could use anything. Because of the constant tossing and cooking, the brinjal is cooked to crispy perfection with a yummy besan masala coated all over it. So try this and let me know how it turned out.
