Another really easy peasy recipe of a gr8 going with hot hot phulka's (absolute no oil puffed skillet baked Indian bread...can't believe that's the english translation for such a simple and small word like phulka). I had been lazing all day...since i had that odd feeling i'd land up with a cold and cough...and by the time i realized, it was already well past 1300hrs...and my hubby could land up for lunch anytime...i just have under 60mins to minutes to cook up something for lunch, and i set my eyes on my beautiful "Baigan aka Brinjal" i set out to cook lunch and it turned out really yummy...and in under 45mins...for those who have never done it this way lemme tell you i am doing it the traditional way by actually cooking it on the flame but if you have alternate ways of doing it like try a skillet,go right ahead and do it...the only difference would be that when you cook the brinjal directly on the flame it acquires the smoky flavour...in addition to the super yummy creamy texture it gets..;).and when you cook it on a skillet it does not get the smoky flavour..;)...well the choice is totally yours...personally i love the smoky taste...!!
