When Brinjal and Drumstick come together its marriage made in heaven ! If you haven't tried this, you are missing out on something so good !!! I got this recipe from my dear Induaunty in Chennai. She is an awesome cook, we have long hours of telephonic conversations during the week days, most of it is food related ;) . I have never had this dish in Kerala. So I am assuming, maybe this is an another awesome invention from Tamil Nadu :-) . No, you cannot try this one tomorrow. Today is the day for Brinjal and drumstick poriyal. So lets get started.
