#masterclass - This is a simple and an equally fantastic recipe that is bursting with flavours. These are slit baby eggplants that are stuffed with some idli podi (gun powder) along with some chilli powder and lime juice. They are then slow cooked to perfection.

It is not only easy but at the same time it is yummy too. It has a minimum of ingredients and can be dished out in a jiffy. You can enjoy it as a side dish with plain steamed rice, curd rice or any Indian bread.
