I had an impression that Brinjal is tricky to cook, at times it gets over cooked and the whole dish becomes a mess. So I never tried any thing else than fried Brinjal gravy and normal Brinjal fry.Once I was left with lot of Brinjal with which I dont want to make a fry or a gravy. I just want to cook one pot dish. Okay, lets do Brinjal Biryani however I promised myself that I will not make a mess. With all care I cooked the brinjal, added all the ingredients and closed the lid. Once done, I opened it and the brinjal was cooked well with all the masala in, oh! still in shape. Being a veggie, this swtiched us from a normal veg biryani.
