Stuffed Brinjal fry | How to make stuffed brinjal fry with groundnut masala
Stuffed Brinjal Fry recipe with step-by-step pictures and video on how to make stuffed brinjal fry.
Brinjals stuffed with masalas are always favorite side dish. This goes well with dal rice, curd rice and any non-spicy food. I like this stuffed brinjal fry more than the simple brinjal fry.
Even if you are not fan of brinjal dishes, you will surely like this stuffed brinjal fry.
The masala I prepared was sufficient for about 10 brinjals. But, I prepared brinjal fry with only 6 of them. I have stored the remaining masala in refrigerator and used later. Similarly, you can also prepare masala in advance and store in refrigerator, then use it within a week time.
This is very easy recipe and just that we have to be careful not to burn the brinjals while cooking.
I request you to check out some of my other side dish recipes, such as potato fry, amaranth stir fry, and drumstick stir fry.
