Masala baingan is a delicious Indian sabzi made with some basic spices. It is called Brinjal in English. This is the side dish, or you can use in main course as well. You can make so many dishes with the help of brinjals. It is versatile coz it comes in many varieties. Even this is my and my family' s all time favorite dish. We enjoy this with paratha. When I went to the market, I saw some fresh small, long brinjals so I couldn't resist myself to buy this coz it looked as if it had just been plucked from the plants and came to the market for sale

As we all know benefits of baingan, even brinjal in grown mainly for food and medicinal purposes. I possess vast amounts of dietary fiber as well as antioxidants. These beneficial compounds help to reduce blood sugar spikes and manage diabetes symptoms. It is natural rich in iron but also support hair growth. Brinjals may help to lower the risk of many heart diseases such as heart attack and stroke by apparently reducing the damage caused by free radicals. It has magnesium that promote skin health and elasticity. So, enjoy this dish and get lot of benefits from this.
