Brinjal, also known as Egg Plant in USA, Aubergine in the UK, Terung by the Malaysian or Kathirikai in Tamil. There are many more names for these brinjals depending on which country you are from. A doctor friend from Singapore called it "Albino Brinjal"! 😂
There are purple, green and white brinjals. The most common are the purple coloured while the rare ones are the white brinjals. They are versatile plants rich in Potassium,Magnesium,and Vit B.
Brinjals can be grown in pots, raised beds or straight from the ground. I started them with seeds bought from the supermarket. A packet cost me 3.20 Malaysian Ringgit. I was not disappointed with this product (green world) because all the seeds in the packet turn out well!
From seeds
In Pots.
They grow well in full sun and well drained, rich soil.😀
Raised beds and in the ground
Plants beginning produce purple flowers and then after that, little white brinjals start forming.

The pure white brinjals, hang out like beautiful ornaments in my garden, looking so unique.
Twin brinjals.
Very rare but I was fortunate enough to witness one of my plants produce a twin!😂
The Indian like to cook it with curry,
Link on http://karileaves.blogspot.com/2012/05/brinjal-and-prawn-curry.html for the recipe.
The Chinese (Hakkas) love the famous deep fried Yong Tau Foo
But I prefer it roasted / grilled ..using an airfryer😂😂. Look for the recipe below:
An Airfryer has been well known for making healthy low fat meals, it leaves a cleaner kitchen without any unwanted oil, spraying all over a kitchen and perfect to cook a small meal just for two.😜😜😜
Roasted / Grilled white brinjals with garlic spread
Ingredients:
5 young brinjals- fresh from my garden ( young ones has less seeds
and more tender)
Garlic spread to spread on the prepared brinjals
Method:
1. Cut the brinjals into 1/4 size as shown (depends on your liking.I like this size).
2. Spread the garlic evenly onto the brinjals. No oil is needed because the garlic spread has butter in it.
3. Line the tray with foil because the butter will melt during grilling.
4. Set to 200 degrees Celsius and timer to 10 mins or until the skin is brown and cripsy
It was so delicious and light. Once i started eating them, i find i can't stop😋😋😂😂
Though my husband is a very fussy eater, he too enjoys it😂😂😂😂
