A very different way of making brinjal is what you would be

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.
