@hereandthere You just slice it and lay it in the baking dish. My husband does most of the cooking so that's all I know about it. I think he seasons it and sometimes puts breadcrumbs on it.

We call them brinjals. I have planted them in the good old days and they have yielded results. Must go for them again. Any surplus you can make pickle out of them. You will find recipes on the Net.

Harvested those eggplant from your garden or from the neighbor? Put that on top of charcoal and afterwards mix it with egg and flour and fry it in sizes like that of burger patty. That would be yummy. Or after taking them out from the charcoal, put some vinegar and some green onions and you have your eggplant salad :)

We make a whole lot of dishes with eggplants or brinjal as we call them.. If it is large, you can cut into hales , scoop out the center and stuff it with whatever you like , boiled spiced potatoes and capsicums and spread cheese on top and grill it. You can make fritters and stir fry with onions and spices and add to yogurt, it is very refreshing and cooling on a hot summers day. You can have it with steamed rice..

At my house we don't have it often but you can always dice it and put it in a chicken stew with rice on the side or you can make a chicken and eggplant parm its really good. I guess it is all about preference in the end.

I like the dish where the eggplant is grilled and skin removed,and then mashed with onions, chillies, and few other spices. It does taste good but never really thought of having it with egg! Will surely try it.
