Abhilash Pillai says
this is a two prep recipe. The first one I have tried with frying brinjal in oil.. the second one I have tried as a sabzi, a seperate one... but I have a doubt... wont adding sugar make it taste different as it is already spicy... I haven't tried sugar and spicy together.
PALATABLE says
Looks yummy, this is regular in our home but normally I add more dry chili to make it spicier. Thanks dear for voting....
