    Baingan Bartha

    by Nisha

    Eggplants are a strict no-no at home. H is so averse to it, that he does not even allow me to cook. So eggplants feature in my kitchen only when I prepare lunch just for myself. Even though am not a big fan of this veggie, I would like to have this now and then. So when Valli announced he eggplant theme, I made sure, for three days he missed his lunch. 😉

    So for the coming three days, it is going to rain eggplants at MSP. Hope you all enjoy the series.
