In our town we will get brinjal bajji. I am a lover of brinjal so i love those bajji's to the core.

When i made these at home, my fascination towards these bajji's is doubled :) 

This snack is made with brinjal as main ingredient. Similar to mirchi bhajji, how ever, the stuffing gives this snack a wonderful aroma and fantastic taste. Must try for all those who prefer spicy food.
