     @LifeTimeCooking eggplant is a favorite (vegetable) - but for sambar, I'd have to say vengaya (onion - these are the small shallot like pearl reddish onions) sambar for me. But then again it may have been the specific sambar podi and maker (aunt-in-law in Chennai)

     @LifeTimeCooking fried is staple in Bengali cuisine. Thick slices, plain or thin slices in (besan) batter
     I've never tried with tamarind soak or accent. (Though eggplant pieces in tamarind soured sambar are pretty great)

     We pretty much adore eggplant and cook it in soups, curries, salads, baked, roasted, grilled, sauteed and steamed. I have a huge number of eggplant dishes that I have made over the years. Did you know eggplant is wonderful deep-fried? The eggplant is soaked in tamarind before frying which adds flavour and tenderises it.

     The recipe is from #MeenakshiAmmal’s #CookAndSee #Vol3.
