Baingan Masala Curry Recipe -- How to make Baingan Masala Curry

Hi, Thank you friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make baingan masala Curry recipe.

Baingan masala curry is my mother-in-law's special. I don't know where she picked it from. This kind of using the whole masala in curries is not a habitual in our family. We use masala very rarely, as the pungent smell of it is not liked by us.
This curry is meant only for roti. Whenever we go out for lunch, I prefer to make roti for dinner and this curry is the best bet as the side dish. It is easy and simple to make.
