Brinjals or eggplants are low-fat and low- carb vegetables and is good option for keto diet. Spices contain some sugar content but again the amount used is lesser and hence can be considered for keto diet.
If preparing as weight-loss recipe then instead of frying in oil, bake this in microwave.
I have prepared the fried stuffed eggplants as side dish.
Add 1 tbsp curry paste and water to make gravy base. No need to add any other spices to it. Add only salt as per taste.
If you like stuffed vegetables and prepare very often,then this is one of the best idea to save your cooking time. This saves almost 30 minutes of your cook time.
There are other variations of stuffing used for such recipes, e.g. peanuts paste, grated coconut paste etc.
