Aurbergines are one of my favourite vegetables. I had bought 2 large aubergines yesterday and kept it refrigrated until I could think of something special to make out of it. Then I came across my favorite cook's tv programe last night..'Floyd's India'.. none other than Mr. Kieth Floyd. In the enthusiasm of learning a new recipe from my cooking guru .. I tried out this recipe and it turned out absolutely fantastilious!
