Actually, even though some people would like us to believe that Baingan doesn’t have any guna (a tongue in cheek reference to its name in Hindi) it is not true.
Aubergine is a rich source of fibre and has low
saturated fat content as well as cholesterol.
It is diuretic and a rich source of potassium, iodine, sodium and
magnesium. It also has antioxidant properties.
So today, I am going to share a simple recipe with you
today. Though it has some fat but as
aubergines have little fat, so it balances out all right. But I won’t advise it to you if you have
health problems.
Ingredients:
1 Aubergine (baingan)
Salt
Red chilli powder
Turmeric powder
Mustard or sunflower Oil
Procedure:
Cut big, round pieces of aubergine.
Sprinkle some salt, red chilli powder and turmeric powder
on the aubergines and tilt the plate so that the water released by aubergines
is collected on one side.
Let them lie for at least half an hour.
Heat some oil in a pan.
Fry the aubergines.
Serve with daal and rice or khichadi or chapattis or
any other way you want. I even love
having them as snacks with tea though that’s not how one is supposed to have
them.
