I don’t get green brinjals easily here in Singapore, and this week managed to grab a few and made this delicious stuffed gravy 🙂

I remember tasting it in an Andra mess, where I used to have lunch most of the times while working in Bangalore. 

This goes well with rice / chapathis and is very easy to make. I made it less spicy and it brought out the other flavors of the dish very well.

Do give it a try, you would definitely love it 🙂
