Discovering and appreciating good food is my habit and experimenting with various flavors, and cooking techniques my passion! Food styling is my hobby and eating a favourite! Why this blog name? Because I always look for the green dot, because I am a vegetarian - no egg,no gelatin! I believe that you can find good food anywhere, sometimes at the places you least expect!I also believe that food is meant to be shared and its okay when you offer somebody your favourite food and secretly wish that he refuses so that you can have it all by yourself!Good food is omnipresent! You need to have the nose for it :)

Grilled Aubergine

















Ingredients:

Round Brinjal : 1no.
Garlic salt       : 3t
Garlic infused olive oil : 2T


Method:

1 Slice the brinjal into 1/2 inch thick diskettes.
2 Soak them in water to avoid blackening.
3 Rub garlic salt on both sides of brinjal slices.
4 Generously drizzle some olive oil and place them over the grill in a very hot oven.
5 After 7-10 minutes, turn the slices to 90 degrees. This will ensure that the brinjals get checkered marks from the grill.

7 Serve with mango salsa over the top ( or side ).
