Most of the wives are always stuck with this question: “What should we cook tonight?” And answer coming back from the husbands is “Anything other than regular daal would be a good option”. Though this kind of an answer doesn’t help the wives much. Infact, it adds to a further brainstorming on their minds.

This time when I saw these cute little purple delights(also check my Baked Baby Eggplants Fusion recipe) in my refrigerator, I had already planned to surprise him with his favorite recipe of eggplant during this week. So, as soon as he expressed that he is craving to eat something other than daal, I knew what to cook. His favorite “Hyderabadi Baingan gravy” was on my mind very promptly.
