Dahi wale baingan is basically a yoghurt based curry which includes eggplant which is cut into circles and shallow fried and added to the gravy. It's a tasty way to cook eggplant which I have seen many dont like to eat. But I love eggplant and I wonder why people dont like it. From bartas to pokoras I love eating baingan in any form. This goes well with chapatis so try it for your next dinner.
