Recipe - Spicy Stuffed Baingan (Aubergine) Masala


Also known as 'bharleli vaangi' in my native tongue Marathi, this is one of my favorite dishes (read vegetarian dishes)
Don't go by the gooey 'swimming-in-oil' picture that I've depicted - you can also cook it for heart patients with less oil....but then, don't take the trouble...give them something bland, less oily and less delicious instead :p

Cooking steps:
1) Finely chop onions, and grate coconut--> fry this till brown
2) Allow it to cool
3) Put the browned onoins and coconut into the mixer, and grind along with ginger, garlic, garam masala (roasted dry Indian spices), red chilli powder, turmeric powder,salt to taste and coriander (cilantro) leaves.
4) Slit the brinjal into 4 and stuff it with the prepared masala, leave for 15 mins
5) In the cooker,  heat oil, add the brinjal, chopped tomatoes and all the remaining masala
6) Add a lil water, and let it cook (2 whistles in the pressure cooker)

Rising fuel prices - a thought


Ever since diesel prices rose by about 3 bucks, the prices of vegetables have sky-rocketed as well. However, the disparity lies in the fact that the prices of veggies almost DOUBLED?? Reason cited: Farmers are unable to ferry their goods to the market at such 'high' prices...what b#llsh%t...3 bucks more per liter and you suddenly become lame? 
 Where's the logic guys?! Bloody highway robbing bhajiwallas %^$#^#$%#$% !!! 15 Bashi bazouks in one thundering typhoon!!
