Method: If you have an oven, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Put the
Brinjal in the baking sheet and keep checking it/turning it till the outer
skin starts cracking and can be peeled off without difficulty. Remember,

Allow the Brinjal to cool a little. Peel the outer skin of the Brinjal. When the skin is removed, crush the Brinjal well so that it has an even consistency. Put some oil in a pan.
