Potato Brinjal split chickpeas curry


Potato Brinjal split chickpeas curry

We Odiyas eat everything with great passion. Whether it is simple or something dramatic, the nuances make you appreciate the identity of the food. 
But there is a day when traditional vegetable curry are made. And on this day, we start  lots of discussion at the dining table. Where did you eat, when did you eat, and at what banquet? 
About the taste of grandmother, aunt, Mom, and sister's handmade.  

Yes, it would have been fine if something good or a little decreased or intensified, or had a little more fun. Such things make you a better cook.
   I enjoy all these little things and like to discuss with hubby. 
   So today's vegetable is simple; just the taste is unique. Vegetables of potato,eggplant, and split chickpeas.
