Brinjal In Garlic Sauce

A very different way of making brinjal is what you would be viewing in my today’s recipe -  Brinjal in garlic sauce. Its more of a Chinese dish prepared with soya sauce and the other ingredients like msg.

Brinjal In Garlic Sauce

The brinjal pieces are stir fried first and then added into the garlic sauce. For making them crisp we have to coat it with cornflour before stir frying them. Also we would pierce the brinjal pieces add sprinkle some salt and white pepper on it, so that the brinjal pieces would absorb it and not remain flavorless from inside.

Now for the sauce, we need tomato puree and also the tomato sauce. While adding sugar, do not go over with it, because it would make the dish more sweet.
