Serve with a dollop of ghee and steamed rice or as side dish with rice varieties. 


Notes :-
-----------
# Adjust water accordingly, you might need to add more or less depending on the brinjal variety. 
# Make sure to retain the shape of the brinjal and not to over cook it. It will become mushy if it is over cooked.
