From Soil to Plate 🍽 Say YES to BAIGAN 🍆 (BRINJAL)

 The Sustainable farming of Baigan/ Brinjal/ Eggplant/ Aubergine .

One thing that Covid crisis surely taught us to be self reliant as much as possible. 

Today I will be making baigan pakora straight from the Garden. 

Although fried products are not advisable for those whose BMI is above 25.

If your BMI is in control going for the fried baigan ka pakora is not going to do any harm.

Especially when the weather is cool we surely want to have it.

No fertiliser is used here, just water, cow dung and continuous soil aeration.

Pluck it with care.

Wash it before use.

Cut it like this. 

We need to make paste of all these to add flavour. 

Take Besan + Haldi + salt + spices

Add some water and mix the brinjal well.

Fry it.

Till it become crunchy. 

Health benefits of Brinjal-

•  Very low in calories and fats but rich in soluble fiber content. 
• 100 g provides just 24 calories but contributes about 9% of RDA (recommended daily allowance) of fiber.

• Effective in controlling high blood cholesterol levels.

• It contains good amounts of many essential B-complex groups of vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and thiamin (vitamin B1), niacin (B3). 

• Source of minerals like manganese, copper, iron and potassium. The antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase utilizes manganese as a co-factor. 
• Potassium helps counter pressing (hypertension) effects of sodium.
