Make a stuffed eggplants South Indian style. Of course, you need time for that one. It is one of the curries that need some time but are totally worth it.

Did you know the importance of brinjals in Indian cuisine?

No Telegu wedding is complete without the perfectly spicy bagharei baingan or gutti vankaya. This curry is quite nutty. It is also very spicy. The filling of peanuts enhances the flavor. Begun bhaja in Odia cuisine is strikingly similar to Sindhi  vangan. Only difference, round brinjal slices are dipped in rice flour and fried in mustard oil. Punjabi Baingan ka bharta is also called Ringna No Olo in Gujarati. They serve it with some jaggery and millet flatbread. Eggplants are also added to Sindhi kadhi and even to  Pav bhaji. Finely chopped brinjals make a great stir fry. Perfect for travel when eaten with poori.
