I remember my fondness for eggplant from childhood and i get nostalgic when someone talks about stuffed or bharwa baigan. My maa is an awesome cook, while writing this post i can recollect my childhood days when my friends use to bump in at my place for mom made dishes. Best out of the lot was my maa's bharwa baigan, those gorgeous desi fresh baigan, stuffed with silvatte ka masala cooked in mud pot. She use to specially make bharwa baigan this way for that authentic silvatte ka taste, Today i am experimenting her recipe in my style stuffing eggplants with tamarind & roasted peanut masala.. This amazing food is rich in antioxidants, low in calorie, high in fiber & controls blood pressure. Do try this exciting amalgamation of flavorsome ingredients in your kitchen as well & I am sure you will love it :0
