This is yet another #sidedish well relished with #rice and #lentils of your choice, This is a popular #southindian dish and completely #vegan. .
I like them crispy and spicy with all home made masalas. If you read me regularly you would note that I use oil at a bare minimum and just to keep the taste of dish alive. I also am not a fan of packaged foods so make the dishes from scratch. Until I learnt this recipe from mom, I must mention I was not a very big fan of eggplants.. #Chatpata khana as I call in Hindi is relished by most of us and when it can be made so healthy we remain guilt free too.

Note:
Eggplants raw are bitter to taste and hence soaking them in salt water not only helps to reduce the bitterness in it but makes the salt absorb well in it.
I personally prefer either olive oil or groundnut oil to prepare this dish but any other oil will do good as well.
Go ahead and try it out. I am waiting to hear from you 😊
