Way to win a man's heart
It is often said the way to win a man’s heart is through his stomach. Mine is with new recipes. Srini (my hubby) loves it when I surprise him every time with a new dish at the dinner table. And who wouldn’t want to please her man !!!!
I have never been a great fan of Brinjal or the Eggplant until I started cooking. One I wasn’t aware at the number of recipes you could come up with it. Gosh ! It’s really awesome and I now know what I have missed all these years. I have always been so finicky with food and hardly ate veggies during my childhood years. Being a pampered spoilt brat my mom let me off and was too pleased if I did eat a meal, forget the veggies…
Today , Eggplant is now a must-buy in my shopping list. Srini loves all the variations that I prepare with them. The Methi Baingan that I prepared day before yesterday was a big hit at dinner and Srini loved it so much.. I am sure you will love it too..I served it along with Cabbage Parathas .You could with rice or chappatis…

Ingredients:
Brinjal – small 6 in no
Tomatoes – 2
Fenugreek leaves (Methi) – one bunch
