Baigan Tawa Fry

Aubergine, brinjal Or " Baingan" is a vegetable which is not liked by many people. But believe me if prepared in this way, everyone will ask for more. Brinjal is rich in many nutrients and is high on Antioxidants. It has numerous health benefits. They are low in calories so they make an excellent choice when losing weight. They are good for the heart and being rich in Potassium can help control blood pressure.So why to avoid such a beneficial vegetable. 

Brinjals come in various shapes and sizes. In this recipe we are using the round variety. 

In India they are always cooked as a part of the main course. But elsewhere brinjals are used in dips, lasagna, soups, appetizers and stews. Here also we are also cooking Brinjals as a side dish to be eaten with dal chawal. When you want a simple yet delicious meal, cook brinjal roundel with dal chawal and you will love this combination.
