Brinji Recipe

Bay Leaf is one my favorite spice to use in cooking because of its unique aroma..If you can find fresh bay leaf then you can use that, but I always have dried bay leaf in my pantry always. Dried Bay Leaf doesn't have any aroma when you smell them as it is, but once you throw them in hot oil or ghee then it releases it aroma and it just fills your entire house.
