Bharela Ringda | Bharwan Baingan | Stuffed Brinjals
Bharela Ringda is quick and easy Gujarati dish. You need to prep the masala and make sure to get small Brinjals. I like to make the masala ahead of time and then during a weeknight meal I make this shaak. It goes so well with god, lasan ni chutney and Bajri no Rotlo. I can actually eat shaak by itself. The brinjals are slit in 1/2 and then stuffed with the masala. It is then cooked in oil until all the flavors are developed. Checkout this recipe below that you will love.
