STIR FRY BRINJALS WITH CHILLIES

Since learning how to 'treat' brinjals before cooking, I don't mind cooking brinjals often as the cooking time is short and dish can be ready in minutes. You will probably see many fried brinjal dishes in time to come.

The brinjals is cooked to soft yet the bright purplish colour still stays. For this dish, I have added big long green and red chillies that is spicy but sweet.   The brinjals are sweet when cooked, only little seasoning is needed.  This dish takes only about 4 minutes to cook, aromatic, appetisingly good with rice. Nice vegetable dish.

1-2 medium size brinjals - cut wedges
