ReplyDeleteAble and cole veg delivery had a recipe for aubergine meat free balls, keep meaning to try as I love them but never do exciting things with them. Chutney is another great idea.
Thanks for your lovely comment :-)
ReplyDeleteAubergine meat-free balls sound interesting, might have to google that one!
Brinjal Chutney, one of my fav dishes. Spicy and tangy.
