mmmmm thanks guys!!!!i bought two big fat baingans yesterday....i'll have enough to try both recipes...
Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
I lovvveeee aloo baingan and baingan ka bhurta that my mom makes.
Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
Add water to cook tomatoes? Thats the first time I heard that. Tomatoes just need a litle bit of heat and they release their own juices which are enough to make them soft. I never add any water while cooking eggplant or zucchini and other such veges.
Re: know good eggplant recipes?..
How about some grilled eggplants with a big chunk of brie mmm :love:
Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
Two veges I cant stand Baingans, gobhi.
Egg say yaad aya. Kal office janay say pehley meinay jaldi mein egg boil kiya tha. Socha tha I'd eat on the way. Then I was getting late so forgot about it. And remember just now. So, should I crack it to see if it is eatable? Or should I toss it in the bin without bothering to check?
Re: know good eggplant recipes?..
Yesterday I had the most amazing grilled eggplant sandwich on sourdough bread 
Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
Mahru - for your recipe is the buttermilk neccessary or can you substitue ? Also, have you made that dish before ? How does it taste ?
Re: know good eggplant recipes?..

Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
I have a new luv for baingans too for some weird odd reason.
I am defenitely trying Mahru's recipe.
Re: know good eggplant recipes?..
But I needed to know if the hard shell protects the inside of a boiled egg or not. Didnt have guts to crack it myself and see 
Maybe mad scientist can tell us 
I dont know these two vegetables I cant eat. Baingan and gobhi.
Re: know good eggplant recipes?.....
I like eggplant lightly fried in olive oil. Add a little salt and pepper, add some tomatoe sauce and some shredded mozarella and parmesan.
Also PF Chang's has this great eggplant and chicken dish.
Re: know good eggplant recipes?..
I used to make this thing called Eggplant salad , its one of the underrated foods. Not that im against it its just that personally never liked making it..lolz but i dont mind sharing it 
yet again i suied to my own taste so took out extra stuff that these alcoholics crave for..lol..oops did i say that OUT LOUD?
So here it is…
2-3 lbs eggplant chopped
olive oil as need half a cup will do the trick
3 chopped onions
minced garlic 1 spoon is enough..or as needed
Italian Essence (this is the main JAAN of the taste)
3 chopped tomatoes
if you do have black olives then use few .. chop them niggaz fine.
1 tblsp parsley
little bit of black pepper
1 tblsp salt
bit of vinegar
I add lime juice to this recipe as well so suit to your own taste.
There are two differnt parts of this THANG:
1 Baking them eggplants…
I bake this whole stuff in 350 degrees in oven..Throw them eggplant in a roasting pan and thow black pepper and salt to it with the olive oil Roast for 30 minutes and take it out and set aside
2- preparing the main core of this recipe:
take a handi , throw olive oil in it add onions in it and make them onions suffer (BROWN:P) add garlic , essense and cook for a minthen add tomoatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes. set a side.
3-Final steps:
once both them niggers are cool then throw them in one donga and mix them well top it with black olive, lime juice and sirkaaa if u like. You can top it with salt and pepper if u like or parsley if u hvae that avaliable..then serve .. Simple trust me it seems like hard long work but its not . but this is “FANCY FANCY” recipe .. might wanna try it when u have nothing better to do:P…THis is tested, tried and TASTED over and over turns out well. adios.
