#Cuisine Call it Eggplant, Aubergine, Brinjal or Garden eggs, I am #cooking them!

Many years ago, in Africa we called them garden eggs, in India we knew them  as brinjals, here in North America they are known as eggplants. Whatever you call them, they have been around since the Middle Ages ☺

Here's how I cook eggplants in less than 10 minutes!

Cut the aubergines and soak them in water for at least five minutes (this is to remove that bitter taste) and while they are being soaked, chop and fry in about two tablespoons of olive oil, an onion, some ginger and garlic

Drain and add the brinjal ... 

Add turmeric powder, Kashmiri chilly powder, cumin powder, and salt ...

Keep stirring to avoid sticking (if you heated the skillet well, then added the oil, and heated that well before adding the onion, garlic, ginger mixture, then nothing will stick) ☺

When the garden eggs are cooked, they'll look like this ...
