For me Indian Vegetarian Food is something which I can eat anytime as this is something which I have grown up eating ya I do eat chicken & meat but not everyday so when I heard about the event The Spice Trail Challenge - temple food hosted by Bangers & Mash I knew what I would be sending comfort meal from my home .
Sharing with you all pics of the meal which I cooked when I had called my friend for dinner the below pic has Curried Brinjal & Potato ,Deep fried Indian flatbread ,Salad & Jeera Rice.

Indian Meal of Brinjal Curry Ajwain Kachodi Jeers Rice & Salad

I love the curried brinjal recipe because of the tempering of the oil with fenugreek, asafoetida & dried red chilli.Aroma of the spices brings distinct taste to the curry.
In the bread the addition of carom seeds makes it flavourful and perfect with the curry.
For Jeera rice cumin seeds & bay leaves  add flavour to the rice adds extra zing to the otherwise plain rice.
