Notes

  • firstly, make sure to flip over and roast uniformly from all the sides.
  • also, roast on medium flame, else the brinjal skin will turn dark but the brinjal will be raw from inside.
  • additionally, adding tempering is completely optional. however, it will enhance the flavour.
  • finally, brinjal chutney recipe tastes great when prepared with the smoky flavour.
