Greetings 🙏 dear Hiveans and Plant Power Vegan community members. The artstic way of cooking variety food, changes globally from one place to another. And so, let me present another recipe from my place made of Brinjal.
Our country India is famous for Biriyani's both veg and non-veg. This food item is a must menu in most Indian restaurants. Now lets make a side dish, which goes well with it. A simple and tasty Brinjal curry. And to make the food more sweet, the Brinjal is fresh from my own garden.
Easy to cook and tasty with the rice. So, let's begin
