I have come across a lot of people who dislike Brinjal from the bottom of their hearts. I too was one of them, till the foodie in me got the better of me, getting me to be a little adventurous. Am I thankful for that change?? You bet !! One thing I realised after trying this dish was that, Brinjal wasn’t that bad after all. Gone were the days when I used to find an excuse to not have Brinjal. It was D’s turn now and I must say, he is following in my footsteps. He would plainly refuse to even taste. All this changed during our recent trip to a resort called Tribal Camp in Pench. We were served Baingan Bhartha during lunch there. The moment I tasted it, I was bowled over. That was the best Bhartha I have ever tasted in my life. Though it took a while to convince D to try it, he too loved it. He not only took a second helping, but went a step ahead and asked the waiter to get the recipe for him. Isn’t that cute?? Though I got the recipe, to my disappointment, it didn’t have the measurements. (more…)
