I got this amazing Kashmiri Khatta Baingan recipe while watching Chak Le... i tried it immediately and loved it. I was stupid enough to forget the recipe. I remembered bits n pieces and gave it a try... tasted Yum,,, n i call it Baingan Masala instead...
next time i made Baingan Masala, i was lazy to prepare Roti,,, I was boiling Pasta for my daughter and voila,,, my crazy mind went nuts and i prepared Baingan Masala with Pasta n Cheese,,, tasted just like lasagna... Italian Khana with Indian twist...
