Brinjal fruits, commonly known as eggplants, are versatile ingredients in cooking. They can be baked, barbecued, fried, or pickled, adding depth to various dishes. In Mediterranean and Indian cuisines, they are often pureed and flavored to make dips or chutneys. In Indian cooking, they feature prominently in curries and can even be used to create soufflés. Before cooking, it’s common practice to soak the cut fruits in cold salted water to prevent discoloration and reduce bitterness.
