In Turkey, Eggplants are used in stews, kebabs, in baked goods, pastries and so on. It’s such a versatile ingredient that it has found a place for different kinds of recipes. We even make jam out of it! :D And I want to share one of my irreplaceable food “Karnıyarık” with you.

Here is another dish from Türkiye.!One cup of chopped eggplant provides 35 calories, 0 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbohydrates, 2.5 grams of fiber and 0.83 gram of protein. Vitamins found in eggplant include potassium, iron, folate, vitamin K and vitamin C. The peel or skin of deep purple eggplants provides a source of phytochemials called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a source of antioxidants shown to have potential health benefits against cancer, inflammation and neurological disease.Complete proteins are those that provide all 22 essential amino acids. These high-quality proteins are found primarily in animal protein sources including beef, chicken, fish, dairy and eggs. Incomplete proteins are lacking at least one or two essential amino acids -- typically found in grains, legumes or vegetables. Eggplants contain incomplete protein, but you complement them with a variety grains or legumes or meat each day to make a complete protein.

I always order eggplant curry, since I love it. But the authentic version has tons of oil. To reduce cooking time as well as the amount of oil, I generally microwave eggplants before using them in dishes like this.For this recipe, I used a large, round eggplant. Use 2 if using the narrow type. Adjust the spices to taste. Recipe by KT121

This is a dish made often in Nepal.Depending on the region, your flour may be different.It's okay if the eggplant isn't completely coated in flour.If you have leftover batter, you can use it to fry up other vegetables as well.This time, I used a large green eggplant, but you can use regular eggplants or even western eggplants. If using a regular eggplant, cut into rounds. Recipe by Dauri

I am using a seedless organic eggplant in this recipe. It is simply delicious.

#itsprocessoverproduct#itsprocessoverproductStuffed bitter melons/karelas makes for a best side dish, and tastes best with dal roti along. The best thing about this recipe is the onion-tomato masala. The masala is further powered with freshly grounded masala comprising zeera, kalonji and saunf. The steps required are documented below. #karelas #stuffedkarelas #stuffedbittergourds
