Thank you Divya Vikram. Yes the brinjal blends well with rajma and if you add a pinch of garam masala (if you like) it enhances the flavour and goes well with Indian Rotis. It is a good lunch box curry too.

Hello Mam,
I dont know whether you will have non veg recipes. If you have, I would like to have a good recipe for Chicken Stew….
Hi Mano,
Thank you for visiting my site. I am a pure vegetarian person and do not know about non-veg recipes. Sorry I cannot help you in this regard.
