My Recipe Notes on Chettinadu Eggplant Fry:
1. Small Eggplants tastes better.
2. After cutting the brinjal put it in water otherwise it gets black when they are left after being cut.
3. This is an aromatic brinjal stir fry with the dominant flavour of garlic. Those who want to reduce the flavour, you can.
4. Add spices as per your taste buds.
5. Cook the eggplants over medium flame and keep stirring, this help the eggplants without getting burned.
Happy Cooking..
Cheers..
