Hello my dear followers and visitors. My Sunday brunch last week was eggplant bruschetta with a Indian touch. Bruschetta is an Italian dish (pronounced as brus'ketta) it consists of a grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil,many variations can be made as per our likes.The most popular topping on it is chopped tomatoes and basil leaves. In Italy it is served as a snack or appetizer. The recipe i have prepared also have some variations, instead of grilling the bread i toasted it for 1 and 1/2 minutes and i prepared the Eggplant topping with a Indian spicy touch.The topping i have prepared for bruschetta can be rolled in chapati/paratha and can be used as a Tiffin menu, if you want to make it for kids then just adjust the spice level.The eggplant topping is simply an idea born in my mind while watching a morning TV show Better homes and Gardens,in this show the lady used vertically sliced and barbecued eggplant,but i prepared this topping as per my taste buds and ideas and it turned out pretty well. So just give it a try and see how you find it and please leave a comment about your experiences. My hubby liked it very much ,that's special because? he hates Brinjal still he enjoyed eating it giving a green signal for next time :). So here is the recipe.
