Aubergine, Eggplant or Brinjal several names, several shape and sizes but make a delightful recipe. Almost all the cuisine has their favorites recipe from this humble vegetable. It is often stewed, as in the French ratatouille, or deep fried as in the Italian parmigiana, the Turkish karnıyarık or Turkish and Greek musakka/moussaka. Eggplants can also be battered before deep-frying and served with a sauce made of tahini and tamarind. Best-known Turkish eggplant dishes are İmam bayıldı (vegetarian) and Karnıyarık (with minced meat).It may also be roasted in its skin until charred, so the pulp can be removed and blended with other ingredients, such as lemon, tahini, and garlic, as in the Middle Eastern baba ghanoush and the similar Greek melitzanosalata. Indian and Pakistani dish baingan ka Bhartha or gojju. Unlimited varieties
