Therefore, it’s essential to include this nutrients-packed superfood into one’s regular diet. Check out interesting ways to do so.
Chop brinjal into bite-sized pieces and coat the pieces in breadcrumbs or panko mixture. Bake the brinjal pieces to concoct crunchy and appetising nuggets.
Cut brinjal into round slices and soak them in a batter prepared from chickpea flour, spices, and water. Savour the deep-fried delights with chutney or yoghurt.
