Masala rice turned nice aromatic with less work. Back in my childhood, when my grand father was alive, we used to have this planted in our farms very frequently. I hated brinjal all my life until I got married and started trying out new recipes on my own. I love brinjal these days and love trying variations. In this recipe since I didn’t have small brinjal, i used eggplant.
