This is a North Indian style curry where the grilled Aubergines are cooked with Spices and Herbs. Typically glossy smooth surface Aubergines have less seeds and this is a perfect of its kind. The spicy version tastes yummy with Roti and some sliced Salad. We sometimes use this as a spread as well. So depending on your likings enjoy this spicy curry!
