Hello dear readers ! I ‘m back after a long hiatus . Summer holidays are on and I’m making full use of it spending time with family .Though I have many posts to share , today I’m going to share a Maharastrian dish  which is one of my favourite cuisine . I had prepared this sometime back and enjoyed it very much . Baigan means Brinjal . This dish goes well with Indian bread ,roti or chapathi and  with the rice too .
