Favorite Ways with Eggplant / Aubergine?

Yeah - coz it’s supposed to be a vegetarian dish. :grinning:

Ravaiya is the Gujarati variant of Bharli Vangi. I made it at home and it turned out very well (in my humble opinion). Next time I would use smaller aubergines.

It looks delicious — both pictures!

So it looks. :grinning:

The restaurant uses the very small more pointed aubergines, rather than the small round ones you’ve used. They slit each one down from the stalk end, so there’s four “fingers”.

I love eggplant, but don’t cook it often for no particular reason. I much prefer the slim eggplants used in Asian cuisine, than the fatter Italian kind.

My favorite preps are Taiwanese style stir-fried eggplant with basil and also Chinese style stuffed eggplant (think of what you can get during dim sum). I’m also a sucker for well done eggplant tempura.

Looks great. None of the Indian restaurants I’ve visited in Canada have had this on the menu.
