I wanted to do post this for a very long time. Every time I have done this before I was unable to click as it always started to rain (actually since eggplant is not my kids and hubby favourite I seldom do it) Last week I got my new helper and she came from Trichy. My mum almost passed all vegetables from her garden. So sweet of her. So I had this nice fresh brinjal / eggplant. Since these days are very hot I was little hopeful that I would qwsxbe able to do final click on this. Yes finally I managed to do it.
