i belong to the “love baingan” squad…..this looks like something that will be versatile with rice, rotis and even between two slices of bread!!i blend in all the ingredients except the brinjals, cook the gravy and then drop in the sauteed pieces of brinjal to simmer!!

Mallika, love and enjoy your writing.

I am so used to hearing eggplant or brinjal that I have to remind myself that aubergine is not an exotic vegetable. I liked your variation of this.

Thanks Deepa for helping the lovely Lee. If you can’t be bothered Lee, just leave out the peanuts, go forth and conquer. This will taste just as god, trust me. And why not add some peas while you’re at it… M x

Lee: If you’re allergic to peanuts, try sunbutter (it’s a brandname). Or even soy butter. These taste like ground peanuts. Look at http://www.foodallergy.org for info/support, as well. –Deepa

I’m allergic to peanuts, and most other nuts. What should I use instead? I quite like garden peas with aubergine.

I LOVE your catchy titles!! “Decadent sweets for unconventional people”, if memory serves me right. You clearly have a way with words.

So do you get all the brandnames in London, that we do in the U.S? So if I said “Baked Lays”, you’d not bat an eyelid? WHat about “Kashi cereal”. Anyway, Kashi (amazingly healthy brand) has now branched into a mediterranean pizza, which is so exciting to me. Hope you get it there, because I really think you’d enjoy it. –Deepa

Mallika, thanks for the great eggplant recipes. I adore eggplants, and thanks for giving me a chance to use my fenugreek seeds! You are truly my new foodie heroine. Definitely I will buy the wine if I’m ever in London…thanks for stopping by my blog!
