Both brinjal and potato are common veggies available in our local markets all round the year. This simple subzi brings these two ingredients together with daily masalas.

The Aloo Baingan Subzi has a homely yet appetising flavour, which combines the tang of tomatoes with the peppy taste of ginger and green chillies.

Despite being so easy to make, this everyday subzi is simply too delicious when served hot with fluffy phulkas and a cup of soothing raita.

This dish is very easy to understand and you can comfortably vary the spice levels according to your taste, to make a subzi that everyone in your family with enjoy thoroughly!
