Hi Indira,

I was wondering if you could use the ripe brinjal for pickle,the ones with the black seeds or is it a total write off and has to be trashed?

oopsi iam sorry, i dint see the beerakaya in Indian vegetables section. But they said it looks like cucumber ( fatter version with yellow lines) she dint know to explain in English and my telugu is pretty bad , so cudnt follow what she said much.do we get this in US stores ?

Indira says…
No problem, Priya.:)
I recently organised the categories section according to the ingredients. If you hold mouse on a name of ingredient in the category section, you can find what’s it called in different Indian languages. Hope this helps.
How do you like my organisation? Do you find it useful and helful, Priya?

I love green eggplant, especially in Thai Green Curry. I’ll have to try the green eggplant I just purchased in an Indian application, thanks!

The green ones taste great. But even the asian stores here have them in such small quantities that I avoid them. In India, the green eggplants I have seen are the long variety. Do you have a specific recipe for them?
