Bharvan Baingan
by Tarla Dalal

Stuffing them with spices and besan really enhances the flavour of brinjal in this dish! This subzi is easy and quick to make, as long as you have a pressure cooker on hand.

Use the small and dark varieties of brinjal as they have a mild sweetness which combines well with the stuffing.

Bharvan Baingan , Whole Wheat Bhakri , Moong Dal Khichdi and Punjabi Kadhi make an interesting and comforting meal combo.
